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

I know it costs me money that I earned for my family. My welfare education is limited to forced provider.

Yes, you EARN it. That is the ridiculous war cry of the selfish and heartless.
 
The real threat is and has been for decades, liberalism. That’s you pal not me. MAGA is but a slogan. It’s success as haunting to you today as it was 6 years ago. With Trump still living rent free in your head no less. Simply means reversing most of your leftist filth policies.

It really is disingenuous to call conservatives commies or Nazis especially considering the fact that your party has been seeking communism and socialism for decades. With only one thing stopping you……..us. Plenty of real comedians out of work for you to be cutting free jokes.

Typical response from you. It contains nothing.
 
You would have collapsed under the weight of the pills you would have needed to match my work ethic.

Worked 56 hours a week for 15 years straight only to increase that to 96 hours a week when I started my business. Raised 2 kids and kept a house and yard nice to boot. Little time for fun.

The joke is on you it seems.

ROTFLMAO

You have no clue, none. I wish I worked but 56 hours.
I literally fell asleep at Christmas dinner two years in a row. I was that exhausted. Had I worked but 56 hours I never would have been that tired.
And then when I got my own business I worked every minute I was awake.
Thing is, it no longer felt like work. It was easy working every minutes.

But seems we caught you in a fib, you claimed to have worked two jobs.

a footnote, the hardest jobs I ever had paid the least and left me exempt from OT, holiday pay, any benefits at all.
The easiest job I ever had put me in the top 2%.

Guess who worked beside me in the hardest lowest paying jobs? The people you hate. People from central and south America seeking a better life.
 
I know it costs me money that I earned for my family. My welfare education is limited to forced provider.

You say forced provider, some might say system necessitator.

Potato, potentially greedy bastard, I guess.

And before you go getting your panties in a bunch....I already acknowledged that I dont know what you pay your people, yet you continue to make this specifically about you. It makes it hard to discuss it in general terms, so please understand when I say "you", it's not meant to be a personal slight.
 
#1That's the claim......generally not how it turns out in the end. In the end, the business ends up never giving back to the cities what they spent to get them there.



#2Again, a pipe dream conservatives refuse to let go of. We have seen time and again that we lose tariff wars, especially with places like China. Trump got his ass handed to him during his. You know why? Because there are more people in China than here, and in the end, you can rest assured that if given the choice between unfettered access to the buying market HERE or THERE, most businesses will choose THERE. That means anything that is going to limit that access is an immediate no go. Trump didn't give up his stupid tariff war because China capitulated to his demands....he did it because US businesses complained about the Chinese response hurting them more than ours helped them.



#3You guys SAY you are against them coming here illegally, and then turn right around and hire them anyway. That is the very definition of talking out of both sides of your mouths. The reason doesn't matter. All that reason does is help you sleep better at night. Truth of the matter is that if they actually cracked down on EVERYONE hiring them, the problem would go away overnight....but conservatives seem against any more oversight that would do something about it.

See the dilemma?



#4Bent over? There once was a time when people understood the cost of doing business. Now, the owner class has become some of the most coddled and entitled among us.



#5Nobody is saying you shouldn't make more. That said, when you make more at the expense of your employees being able to make ends meet and they end up on public assistance, that is essentially the government subsidizing you being cheap.
#1 That’s on the the city making the deal.

#2 we lost because of the election and to some extent the intense attack on trump by leftist filth and a few rinos.

#3 put everyone in jail. Funny that democrats never try to fix it yet bring it up with every election cycle to defend there open borders policies.

#4 I understand what the costs of doing business are and I still think it’s bending me over and giving me the pringles can. This conservative is for sending all illegals back and if business needs workers for work that Americans can’t or won’t do then we can increase the LEGAL immigration.
Today I learned Daddyo doesn't understand what a marginal tax rate is.
I understand the progressive tax system. I was speaking of myself. My tax rate fell to 22 or 25 percent. Yet another giant fail lol. Oh I got him I got him dang I don’t got him lol. Pathetic.
 
The 50 states don't get federal money?
You sure about that?
Nice dodge, that was not the question he asked. You do realize that the states get federal money in Block Grants that are then subject to state laws and policies? Please tell me you know that.

And but also, I'd like to know the Household size for the numbers presented in the OP, because my state isn't even in the top 35 and for cash benefit only it would be just over $11K if a HH of 3 received for all 12mos.
It would make more sense if these numbers are based on both SNAP and Cash benefit. Even though those two benefits are drawn off different areas of the federal budget.
It is also funny that no one wants to talk about how SNAP is essentially a subsidy for farmers. Wonder why that is?
 
Of course they do.

Which leads to two questions:

1. How much per state is federal vs state, and
2. How did Biden allocate that money all by himself?
I am pretty sure that the last Farm Bill which regulates SNAP 100% was signed before Biden was elected POTUS.
<---checks, yup Dec 20, 2018. So, not Biden, eh?
 
$39k in NH won't pay rent and bills. And certainly won't cover food and rent and bills.

And I think that number is damned dodgy. I help with qualified addicts in recovery with bennies who still need to work 50+ hours to break even.
yeah, I want to know the household size for those numbers, because for a family in Maine to even get to Alabama levels there would need to be a HH of 9, with the Special Needs Housing allowance. But that is if the numbers are just cash benefit only, and not cash and SNAP.
 
This is not true. This is a common conservative talking point meant to disrupt an election process.

Conservative voters tend to be wealthy 1% members or right-wing militia members. Sometimes they are baby boomers who seem to have been raised this way. As a general rule, the KKK and other racist groups tend to be right-leaning.

Back in the 1960s, a certain democrat president got elected because dead people voted for him, but that was an isolated incident.
No it was not a talking point until it was discovered and then yes it was a talking point.

And liberal voter tend to be broke welfare parasites so what’s your point? The KKK was started by democrats. There are plenty of racist groups that vote democrat like BLM and LaRaca. Plenty of down right filth that vote democrat.
 
#1This is inaccurate. Some people cannot work and genuinely need help. Those people are not parasites, they are the sick, the injured, and generally, they are people who have no other way.


#2I dislike outsourcing of ANY kind. American companies need to bring jobs back to America or pay an 85% tax rate.



#3It's usually conservatives who hire illegal workers and they usually do this because they will work long hours for less money.



#4Business owners routinely abuse employees and take advantage of illegal workers. I have seen business owners fire people to avoid paying out workman's comp. There were businesses in the late 1880s and early 1900s that made little children work in dangerous jobs for 18 hours per day. This is neither honest nor fair.

#5Businesses are not the victims they claim to be.



#6I wish you good luck sir. Be well.
#1 They are not parasites. The rest are.

#2 Whatever the amount of tariff the playing field can’t be so uneven. Not fair for our businesses. Now the leftists want to slap green energy bullshit on our companies.

#3 both sides hire them for the same reasons. They will out work any low income American flat out.

#4 the employee has rights and protections. They also have a right to NOT accept what is being offered for the work being done. It’s called choice. The worker is not a slave. Say no and dip. However if you say yes don’t bitch anymore you agreed. Shut up and work.

#5 Businesses don’t claim to be victims but employees often do. Like you just did. Negotiate your desired wage or go elsewhere. If you agree then close your mouth and work.

#6 Thank you and same to you.
 
Sure you have. Try telling the truth for once. I know being a commie it might be hard, but give it a shot.
If I was a commie we would be comrades. I find it halarious that you would have the balls to call me that considering how conservative I am and how much I despise communists and socialists. Being part Cuban it’s funny to me. It seems you believe that this attack angers me. I wouldn’t give you the pleasure of allowing it to bother me. What it does however is it shows that leftist filth will say and do anything including openly lie about someone, to further their agenda. Pathetic.

I don’t lie pal. I have also witnessed it being done by others. Several others over the years.

If it didn't bother you, you wouldn't cry about it. Conservatives like you are the new commies in this country. Anti American to the core. Only care about themselves, and piss on the Constitution for a loser named Trump. Pathetic.

Maybe you shouldn't hang out with criminals.
 
The only filth here are the anti American piece of garbage right wingers.
Leftist filth get it right. Just look at what leftists cause whenever you become empowered to govern. Nothing but filth and blight.
 
I've said all along, they buy their voters with tax payer money.

What is sad, is that lefties are for sale.
I take it you are completely unaware that those numbers are horseshit
 
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.


You lost me at "leftist filth"

A mental disorder is MAGAS on Jan 6, 2021
 
So you endorse MAGA corruption because you feel the democratic and legislative process 'stole' from you. This is the perfect illustration of perceived deprivation if there ever was one.
Making America great again is a slogan. The concept used for achieving this goal is simply using the conservative governing philosophy. Things that include welfare reform. Very simple and far from the corruption you claim. In fact conservatism is actually anti corruption. It’s why we often call ourselves conservatives instead of republicans.

By constraint you leftists have RAGA. Running America into the Ground Again. As you push your socialist and communist agendas America suffers. Just look at any place run by leftists filth. Complete shitholes. It’s why after you read this message you will call me crazy and otherwise attempt to discredit me INSTEAD of simply giving us ONE ****ING EXAMPLE of a leftist run city or state that isn’t a shithole.

On the National level your side simply blames the last conservative that was in office. Excuses don’t work for those of us who know what the policies do. Weak military policy invites increase action from our enemies. High taxes chokes economic expansion. Open armed rhetoric toward illegal immigrants invites them to attempt a crossing. Defunding police invites crime. Getting tough on big oil gas prices rise. Spending more money during inflationary periods causes more inflation. Pretty much every thing you leftists touch goes to shit. Unlike you I can give you example after example of this.

To answer your question above……I endorse making America great again because I love this country and abhor what leftist policies have done to it. I believe that taxes over and above what is necessary to provide for the country’s defense and infrastructure is theft. And while you and I may disagree on whether taxes is theft or the legal relocation of my money forced by law, the bottom line is that the money is being taken. Money I earned. With welfare it becomes personal because so many just refuse to work like I have to do daily. And like the topic says it enslaves its victims and causes them to support the candidate handing out the goodies. Which is the point.
 
#1This is lie. It has been disproven.

#2It does not. At one time, it provided a stipend for poor people with children to use on diapers, formula, and hygiene products.


#3This is an attempt to hijack the thread. If you want to talk about this, go to the abortion thread.



#4No, it does not. That is an ancient right-wing, plantation owner frame of mind. It wasn't true then and it isn't now.

#5It's Osteen, and yes, I do. We agree on this point.



#6Once again, an attempt to hijack the thread. If you wish to discuss this, go to the abortion area.
#1 Biden was for a border wall and then changed. As the democrat party begins to lose its voting majority they changed. Blacks, Hispanics, and the poor support the democrat candidate with high numbers………JOE BIDEN: An unrelenting stream of immigration. Nonstop, nonstop. Folks like me who are Caucasian, of European descent, for the first time in 2017 we'll be an absolute minority in the United States of America. Absolute minority. Fewer than 50% of the people in America from then and on will be white European stock. That's not a bad thing. That’s a source of our strength.

I argue that he changed his immigration policy because he wants more population that votes for demonrats. He just showed you that he is capable of thinking on a level to include eugenics. America will be stronger with stock from third world nations lol. You guys are killing yourselves supporting this moron.

#2 At one time is not NOW. Ever hear of TCA? Also check this out….”Eligibility for benefits is based on a number of factors, including income levels and family size. Welfare beneficiaries usually receive a biweekly or monthly payment in the form of food stamps, vouchers, or even direct payments.” Even direct payments!!!!!!! You are wrong sorry. Perhaps, since I was supposedly lying earlier, you are now.

#3 Calling out the hypocrisy. I believe I was responding to someone claiming hypocrisy on our side. Hurt didn’t it? Hard to rebut sorry.

#4 entire generations of people have proved you wrong. Hooked like slaves. I deal with them daily in my business. Some even admit it. So the lie once again is your defense.

#5 don’t care who he is or the correct spelling of his name.

#6 Ouch I know. I does show your lack of critical thinking skills and hypocrisy. I wouldn’t want it put in my face either. No answer because none is possible.

Sounds like racism to me.

This is not true. This is a standard GQP lie that has been told over and over again for the last 50 years.

#2 At one time is not NOW. Ever hear of TCA? Also check this out….”Eligibility for benefits is based on a number of factors, including income levels and family size. Welfare beneficiaries usually receive a biweekly or monthly payment in the form of food stamps, vouchers, or even direct payments.” Even direct payments!!!!!!! You are wrong sorry. Perhaps, since I was supposedly lying earlier, you are now.

Food stamps are given on a card that can then be used to purchase food. It's called SNAP - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. This state does not give out cash money to anybody anymore. The card will carry some spendable cash for women who are pregnant or who have small children. It's not usually more than $50.00 per month. It's not cash payment and very few get it., Stop drinking the trump-aid.

#3 Calling out the hypocrisy. I believe I was responding to someone claiming hypocrisy on our side. Hurt didn’t it? Hard to rebut sorry.

More BS. The right is the most hypocritical group in the country.

#4 entire generations of people have proved you wrong. Hooked like slaves. I deal with them daily in my business. Some even admit it. So the lie once again is your defense.

More racist BS.

#5 don’t care who he is or the correct spelling of his name.

You are defeated.

#6 Ouch I know. I does show your lack of critical thinking skills and hypocrisy. I wouldn’t want it put in my face either. No answer because none is possible.

More BS.
 
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 you think big U.S. public companies don't care about making a profit? And you say it's bad how they focus on getting people to keep buying their products? Sounds pretty socialist. Also, what do you think their Boards care about?
 
#1 They are not parasites. The rest are.

#2 Whatever the amount of tariff the playing field can’t be so uneven. Not fair for our businesses. Now the leftists want to slap green energy bullshit on our companies.

Corporate greed is not what we're discussing. We want to protect the worker and the environment from a group of people who have been abusing anything and everything for the last few hundred years.

#3 both sides hire them for the same reasons. They will out work any low income American flat out.

This is partially true; however, illegals cost far less than American workers and will work longer hours. Again, this is corporate greed and abuse.

#4 the employee has rights and protections. They also have a right to NOT accept what is being offered for the work being done. It’s called choice. The worker is not a slave. Say no and dip. However if you say yes don’t bitch anymore you agreed. Shut up and work.

Spoken like a business owner who does not want to be held accountable for their bad (sometimes illegal) behavior.

#5 Businesses don’t claim to be victims but employees often do. Like you just did. Negotiate your desired wage or go elsewhere. If you agree then close your mouth and work.

Again, more abuse. Employees are often subject to extreme abuse at the hands of their employers. Employers must be held ABSOLUTELY accountable for that behavior and it must cost them a ton of money. This is how we keep the corporate creepers from exploiting people. Like in the old days when employers thought it was fair to make school-aged children work 18-hour days in unsafe factory conditions with few breaks and for minimal pay.

Businesses will abuse if they can get away with it and that is why unions are required. Unions keep the corporate creeps checked.


#6 Thank you and same to you.
 
No it was not a talking point until it was discovered and then yes it was a talking point.

Thank you for admitting you're using right-wing talking points.

And liberal voter tend to be broke welfare parasites so what’s your point? The KKK was started by democrats. There are plenty of racist groups that vote democrat like BLM and LaRaca. Plenty of down right filth that vote democrat.

No, liberal voters tend to be people who want to prevent right-wing zealots/charlatans from forcing their religion down the throats of the people. We also created a number of programs to help the poor, which the right opposed because they could not make money off of them.

BLM is not an actual group. It's a collective of different people that has no central leadership. This is a right-wing talking point that has been repeatedly spewed by Nazis, bigots, and GQP members.

The KKK was started by former confederate soldiers on December 24, 1865, in Pulaski, TN. Your side loves to scream democrat when this is mentioned. The KKK is NOT a left-leaning organization. They are very right-wing and they vote for racist right-wing candidates who are usually nothing more than closeted Nazis.
