I have guns, dogs and have no problems killing those who I hate. Your argument fails.
Income redistribution-fueled as a way for dem politicians to gain office and with it power and wealth-is going to destroy this nation
Welfare wouldn't be necessary if Republican big business owners were not inherantly corrurpt and completely dishonest. Welfare is here to stay and there is NOT A DAMN THING REPUBLICANS CAN DO ABOUT IT.

The right wing believes in charity. They are much more charitable than the left. The left wants to take money from the haves and give to the have-nots without their permission.
If the right believes in charity why are they so opposed to Social Programs that help others?
It always makes me laugh when people talk about these things as if it was back in the day when women could have a welfare gravy train. Sorry but most of these have gone Away and are not happening anymore. You are only allowed to be on the system for a certain amount of time and during that time you must be looking for and get a job. They days of Welfare for Life are pretty much over. So some folks need to get over being mad that someone is getting some help and be happy they live in a country that tries to help their own. We are not doing near enough in this reguard though. If it were up to me? We would have a lot more social programs.
Welfare at the federal level is unconstitutional but at the state level its legal but still a horrible idea.

WRONG.
It's only a horrible idea in the eyes of a greedy few.

I know way too many people who "live off wellfare, its hooked up bro". This has been hevily taken advantage. If You think weed unmotivates, try giving people free govt. money and see what happens, oh wait, we already have -_-... Not legit stats but id say for every 1 person that deserves government money, 3 people dont, sadly they all "need" it now because they are addicted to govenment entitlement programs...
As far as I can tell, there is no such thing as "american." We are all individuals here and should act as such. The idea of an authentic american culture personally pisses me off because such a thing, if enforced, would restrict my freedoms and suggests a top down approach to life (people must be made to conform to some culture) instead of a bottom up (people decide for themselves and act accordingly).
There is nothing unAmerican about accepting public assistance.
There's nothing unAmerican about providing public assistance.
My two cents: If people are complaining about the unemployment rate, yet they oppose assistance to the unemployed... they need their head checked.
/no relation.
The mobs of the homeless unemployed Romans burned the place to the ground.
alot more social programs? how are we going to pay for it given the deficit. and what are you going to do about the massive rate of births to unwed mothers--being born to a single parent family is the greatest predictor of poverty.
I would rather my hard earned tax dollars go towards helping the poor rather than bailing out of big biz. and rich criminals.
SO THE BIG QUESTION...
is it unamerican for the federal government to take my money and give it to someone else because they think they are entitled to it.
MY TWO CENTS...
America was partly founded on this idea of "the prusuit for happiness". to me it seems wellfare is more like the "gift of happiness". Is there an excuss to be on wellfare today? I dont understand how someone born and raised in Mexico that doesn't speak english can somehow cross the border illegally and find work to better their families back in Mexico but an American born and raised in this nation some how cant make ends meet. Is the American public making excusses for these people on wellfare, and by giving it to them are we just keeping them content with there current situation. I think so. It seems that a majority of people on wellfare keep repeating the same cycle generatin after generation. There are people getting wellfare that have things like cable TV, cellphones, Internet etc... I'm all about helping someone out, but if im going to give someone a helping hand its going to be on my terms. i want to decide if that person deserves my help, not the government deciding for me.
Absolutely the socialist scam of stealing money to buy votes is completely un-American.
It's also unconstitutional.
Then again, it's also flat wrong and immoral.
No wonder the Left love it so.
The AMERICAN notion is one of voluntary assistance, you know, "freedom to choose"? Ever hear of that strange idea? The worker has a body, so it should be his choice on where his charitble dollars go, if he chooses to have any charitable dollars in the first place.
This notion that "charity" can be compelled at gun point totally ignores the definition of the word "charity".
