Typical right-wing Ayn Rand inspired philosophy "I've got mine so **** everyone else."Frankly Im not overly concerned THAT people have a quality of life in this country...only that those that are willing to get off their ass have the OPPORTUNITY to succeed. those that are satisfied living in moms basement or taking government handouts should reap precisely what they sow.

A study I posted the other night demonstrated that even in those socialist nations the richest taxpayers share of the income tax is not much different than their share of the income-the USA has the largest gap between the share of the income the top one percent receives versus their share of the income tax burden (22% vs 39%) in other words, the poor and the middle class pay a far higher share of the income tax burden in europe than they do here

You realize that to compete with illegal immigrants American workers would have to be willing to accept pay cuts. Most of the jobs done by illegal immigrants are low pay no benefit service jobs such as lawn keeping and things of that nature which hardly help at at all if you have a family to raise.Well lets start with competing with the illegals for jobs. They manage to come here with nothing and find work. Amazing...right? Lets follow up with telling school kids engage in your future cuz no one is going to pamper your asses. Oh...there are jobs to be had. Millions come here every year to get them.

I love how you don't complain about corporate well-fare. Especially when it was Wall Street and other corporations that helped ruin our economy. Oh, and as for the illegal immigrant issue I support the Dream Act.Unemployed people have to take 'pay' cuts? Nah...we should just keep the brown slave labor here, working that lower wage job that no American would ever bring themselves to do...and If you have a family your ass out to be out there willing to empty portapottys by hand if thats what it takes to provide for them.
Low income entitlement programs create all sorts of incentives to appear to be poor.
The poverty numbers listed are misleading.
jeebus christ, not another one of those "rich people are just lucky" hacks

Is social spending intended to reduce poverty, or is it intended to make poverty more liveable?
do entitlements help the poor get out of poverty? entitlements are mostly geared to keep the poor from starving or falling deeper into poverty, so you've asked the wrong question.
would cutting off entitlements help the poor get out of poverty? certainly not.
I guess you could say the same thing for greed and avarice.
Yes and capitalism doesn't at all encourage greed or avarice does it?yeah, the entitlement society has increased that as well. people on the dole now think they are entitled to the wealth of others
If we didn't have entitlements, many poor people would choose to get a job.

There are a lot of people who are willing to adjust their lifestyle to whatever level of income that they can get without having to work. I once had an employee who had a roommate who recieved partial disability. The roommate lived on $400/mth which mostly went to paying his portion of the rent and utilities. The guy litterally ate the food that my employee provided plus whatever he could could bum off of whoever he could bum off of.
Now if he didn't have that $400k/mth, I assume that he would either be homeless and starving, or he would go out and get himself a job (he was very capable of working despite the partial disability).
If we didn't have entitlements, many poor people would choose to get a job. They may still be poor depending on what type of job they got, but at least they would be productive. those who didn't choose to get a job, well I hate to sound cruel, but I could care less if they ate or had a home.
No, its "I EARNED mine so *** slackers who havent earned jack".
where, and doing what, exactly? there are plenty of people desperate for work who can't find it.
