The democrat destruction of this country via the welfare system!!!

Big US PUBLIC corporations do not care about where they build or even if they making a profit, they are more concerned about their stock price and they boards, until that changes our nation will subsidize the consumers to keep buying their shit.
So why does the left do every thing they can to stop the right from trying to change where it is best for corporations to invest?

We need heavy tariffs so that it is better for them to build here than China and elsewhere.

We need to stop illegal immigration so supply and demand wages come back into play.
 
So we tell you that leftist filth are destroying this country. Here is an example.

“This is how Blue states remain blue, buying votes by making people dependent. It should also be noted that states have authority over the minimum wage and we don't need a federal mandate

The Cato Institute released an updated 2014 study (original study in 1955) showing that welfare benefits pay more than a minimum wage job in 33 states and the District of Columbia .

Even worse, welfare pays more than $15 per hour in 13 states.

According to the study, welfare benefits have increased faster than minimum wage. It's now more profitable to sit at home and watch TV than it is to earn an honest day's pay.

Hawaii is the biggest offender, where welfare recipients earn $29.13 per hour, or a $60,590 yearly salary, all for doing nothing.

Here is the list of the states where the pre-tax equivalent "salary" that welfare recipients receive is higher than having a job:

1. Hawaii : $60,590

2. District of Columbia :$50,820

3. Massachusetts : $50,540

4. Connecticut : $44,370

5. New York : $43,700

6. New Jersey : $43,450

7. Rhode Island : $43,330

8. Vermont : $42,350

9. New Hampshire : $39,750

10. Maryland : $38,160

11. California : $37,160

12. Oregon : $34,300

13. Wyoming : $32,620

14. Nevada : $29,820

15. Minnesota : $29,350

16. Delaware : $29,220

17. Washington : $28,840

18. North Dakota : $28,830

19. Pennsylvania : $28,670

20. New Mexico : $27,900

21. Montana : $26,930

22. South Dakota : $26,610

23. Kansas : $26,490

24. Michigan : $26,430

25. Alaska : $26,400

26. Ohio : $26,200

27. North Carolina : $25,760

28. West Virginia : $24,900

29. Alabama : $23,310

30. Indiana : $22,900

31. Missouri : $22,800

32. Oklahoma : $22,480

33. Louisiana : $22,250

34. South Carolina : $21,91”

Paying people more money on welfare than the average job would bring promotes the use of welfare. Yet another reason why liberalism is a mental disorder.
LMAO i cant believe you posted all that just to have your dishonest tinfoil hat delusional unhinged triggered meltdown post fail

you could have just posted GRRRRRRRR LEFTISTS!!!!! and it would of had the same meaning and failed effect
😂🍿

We live and have been able to exploit the global economy. We do not have the infrastructure here and COVID confirmed it.

Covid confirmed that shipping form overseas can get bogged down.
 
And ignoring the problem because you like the vote buying scam is better?
You haven't convinced me that there is a problem. You've merely blatted out some prejudice.
 
You've convinced me that you are blind and naive.
By which you mean I haven't freaked out over a problem that has been more or less static for 40+ years?
 
A better hypothetical is how many yachts should the rich forego so the poorest among us don’t die
Put yacht builders out of work?
 
Let's solve that by giving everyone a living wage, and a Universal healthcare plan.

Or we can just complain about people who can't afford to live, or get healthcare......
 
Only the ones abusing the system. And it's also important to punish politicians who buy votes from those they know are abusing the system. Joe's hiring 87,000 new IRS agents to go after you but where is his new army of welfare fraud investigators?
Do you have any proof that the people on welfare vote in any significant numbers so that "they" elect Democrats. Please cite any studies that show this.
 
Subsidizing people to get them out of poverty cannot be maintained indefinitely.

All this does nothing but harm us over the long term, unless we take action to make people self sufficient. That is what the left absolutely refuses to do. The left loves to have slaves of subsidy to vote for them.
Get ready for a response like I got that says you want poor people dead. That's pretty much the best they can do.
 
Put yacht builders out of work?
Better yet, just kick those evil rich people out of America. And take those polluting factories and all those greedy corporations with them.
 
Cato study was full of shit, hope this helps you OP

You are confusing them with logic and that gives them headaches. I'm trying to be as gentle as I can because I feel a bit sorry for them.

Democrats will never do that. They want them to be dependent on the nanny state government so they vote for Dems.

Yeah sure whatever you say. You need to get out more often. I thought you were taking a break? You have been taken over by right wing propaganda just like the Commie thread starter.
 
So, exactly how much of it is being abused?
That is the thing. They bloviate their right wing bumper sticker slogans, but have no idea what the actual facts are. Some dude confined to a wheel chair for the rest of his life gets 60 grand in Hawaii, and then we get moronic threads like this started by right wing clowns.
 
Federal government should neither tax individuals nor subsidize State/local governments.
We might begin to find solutions if we were to concentrate on governance issues with intent to find lasting solutions.
 
The 50 states don't get federal money?
You sure about that?

Sure they do.....but the ones that generally get more in federal support than they put in tend to trend Republican, so I'm not sure the point you are trying to make here.
 
Well, let's see, we've already established that we don't investigate welfare fraud.

In what way have you proven that? I'm damned positive that here in my state, they most certainly do. I hardly believe we are the only ones.

You tell me how many people would speed if there is no fear of a ticket.
You tell me how many people will openly use illegal drugs if there is no fear of punishment.....or just visit the lawless, sewer infested streets of Portland.
But we won't know because we don't investigate it. So the scam continues.

Your original premise being false makes your next two issues bunk.

Fix that and get back to us.
 
Covid confirmed that shipping form overseas can get bogged down.

Thats okay.....they then have carte blanche to charge an arm and a leg for the product that actually makes it here. Bully for them, right?

Couple that with the fact that paying a Bangaladeshi citizen pennies on the dollar is really ****ing good for the bottom line. I mean, seriously....who wants to pay a good wage and benefits when they can get the same thing produced so cheaply that the cost of shipping it back here being added in is STILL cheaper than paying an American to make it here? The answer, of course, is nobody who can afford to outsource in the first place.

What welfare benefits are you talking about? Gen assistance in Hawaii is $348/mo, $336/mo in California, far less than what you say.
 
Well, let's see, we've already established that we don't investigate welfare fraud.
You tell me how many people would speed if there is no fear of a ticket.

When did we establish that we don’t investigate welfare fraud? Retired ex-cop friend of mine did that. I also recently traveled with a reporter who said he investigated the $435 Pentagon hammers, more than some welfare payments. Remember those. Some on the right “strain at a gnat and swallow a hammer,” as Jesus said.
