So you don't even know what you are bitching and moaning about.
In the mean time you like to brag about how rich you are:roll:
I don't recall seeing any proof from you other than lame platitudes
remind me why more government is better.
Because working is hard... :mrgreen:
Remind me why less is better
do you really want to pretend to claim you think you know what I know?
you like to whine how much others owe you something because you have crappy luck.
the cost of government is mainly driven by the middle class and paid for by the wealthy.
Wait a second government is supplying cell phones now? First I've ever heard of that....
because its what the founders wanted
because it costs us less
and mainly, because I like seeing the teat sucklers have to find their own meals

As you know, intergenerational income mobility is much higher and poverty much lower in countries that spend more on poverty amelioration. That is, obviously, what one would expect to happen and in fact it does.

From one link in that article where most of the links didn't work:
The SafeLink Wireless service will provide eligible low-income
households a free cell phone, mobile access to emergency services and
free 68 minutes of air time, monthly, for one year. The cell phone
offers in-demand features: voicemail, text, call waiting,
international calling to over 60 destinations and caller ID.
WOW they can all 911 in an emergency and have some minutes to possibly get a ring from a potential employer.
Not my responsibility for them. They don't need international calling and, in terms of an employer, they can apply in person and check back later.
Get real. it is the 21st century
Email is free, no?
Well you have to pay taxes to support the public library where the poor can use a computer to access there email.....
Assuming they go to the library...
Also assuming there library hasn't been shut down due to budget cuts.
their*
Anyway, if they need computer access: there are relatives which probably have a computer, there are neighbors, etc.

Uhmm yeah odds are the poor live in guess what...a poor neighborhood.
And the one person with a 'puter might want to use it for themselves!
You don't understand serious urban poverty. No, there are not relatives or neighbors who have a computer. People who live in a community where people have computers generally aren't on welfare. People with those kinds of community resources have much, much, better options than being on welfare available to them.
Well then take it up with them, not me or my taxes.
It was your proposition.
It's not our responsibility to make their life easier. They have other options - it takes a little work.
Opening channels to employment is making life easier?
I don't? You're telling me what I do and don't understand? That's rich. (pun intended)
There are options, you have to look for them. It's not our responsibility to say "oh you are looking for a job but can't afford a cell phone? Here's one of the taxpayers dime!"
