GOP war on the poor - Begging for revolution [W:122]

[cpwill]

What the GOP says today or why slaves in 1855 USA had it better.

1: work or we will cut off your food. (but you still dont get Healthcare, a home, cloths, or a shower or soap.

2: work or we will throw you away with not even food. (see you cant throw away a slave because you OWN a slave, your wasting $$$ then)

3: "This bill not only restores the integrity of this safety-net program, it will help beneficiaries become more self-sufficient," a memo from House Republican Whip Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. "

Mr Kevin McCarthy, how are you self-sufficient when you cant even buy soap? or TP? And how do you afford a Apartment on a PT min wage job?

Slaves got a home
Slaves got food
Slaves got healthcare
Slaves got retraining
THe poor in USA get less than slaves.

Cut them all GOP.

We need devotees of the Gillotine...........bring us the millions we need for REAL CHANGE. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

:roll: what is sad here is that there are people out there for whom this is effective.

No, it still doesn't make sense. How, precisely are the poor paying for the government largesse. It's not that I disagree with the statement that they shouldn't. It's that the context is still murky as hell. It sounds like you are accusing the government of taking money from poor people and giving it to their friends, which would be more hyperbole than reality. I'm just thinking maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are saying and so far, it hasn't come together as a cogent explanation for that quote.

They are taking the opportunity to make money from poor people and giving it to their friends. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, because of government.

Every dollar that the government takes is a dollar that isn't used to grow the economy.

It's also a dollar that doesn't contribute to inflation.

That's incorrect.

The rich get richer because the same behaviors and choices that got them rich in the first place makes them more rich on a continual basis.

The poor get poorer because a fool and his money are soon parted. For them, too, the same behavior and choices that makes them poor is also likely to keep them poor.

The government isn't doing it to them or for them (either one).

Obama has increased food stamp use over 50% since 2009. Dishonest people then try to claim a "war on the poor"when people say that it's not sustainable and frankly not good for the people living in dependency. It's the extremists,like the author of this post,who support a slavery system where people are dependent on whoever wins the next election and holds power.

No that would be on Bush since Obama took office after Bush ruined the economy. Keep qouting those chainemails though

No, Clinton ruined the economy with his "everyone gets a house" scheme. Further, Congessional Democrats blocked the Bush administration from shoring up Fannie and Freddie leading to the housing bubble bursting and sending us into recession. Keep up the lack of critical thinking, though.

There will always be poor people when dealing with a flow system of money. This does not mean to totally disregard them, but what I am saying is as long as there is money, there is bound to be poor people for the nature of flow systems themselves. Flow systems have different stages (economic classes) that facilitate different volumes of flow at different rates. This is because this is the most efficient means to increasing the overall flow velocity of the system. However, if money is facilitated to slower parts of the economy, the efficiency or the speed by which money circulates through the entire economy increases. At the bare minimum, this would combat inflation benefiting everyone in the economy.

In essence of what I am trying to say, is not only would helping the poor be a humane thing to do, but it would be in everyone's financial interest to do so. Less inflation means everyone's money will retain more value. I do not have the data in front of me, but I believe it could be calculated how much money should be spent on the poor. By "investing" in the lower strata of the economy, the investing will lead to more expenditure which battles inflation. Money would be gained because there would be less inflation compared to just completely hording money. This is known through the nature of flow systems. The details on how we go about investing in the poor is a completely other discussion and should be debated amongst the people.

The only way to rid of poor people would be to construct an economy that does not use a currency. There are some out there.

"Helping the poor" is not accomplished through welfare. Welfare just keeps them poor.

You cannot help the poor by giveng the government money you can only effectively help the poor by creating private sector jobs there by drivng up the demand for labor and therefore wages.

Well, yeah. Normally in a free market, that would be the case. Except that we have fools running the country and they have an unlimited supply of your money and they're paying poor people to sit on their asses.

That doesn't work when your opening the borders to any third worlder who wants a bottom wage job.

If you can't outcompete some dude barely speaks english the problem isn't with your boss it's with your skill set. Besides if you create enough jobs even that won't matter.
