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

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.
Where is your link and why did you not post one? Unless it is your own study and work you have to give proper credit and provide a link. Wtf are you hiding?
 
Sure it does. In the vast majority of cases conservatives are tougher on crime which leads to safer streets.
Except that areas run by Repuicans have higher crime than areas run by democrats.

Republican-controlled states have higher murder rates than Democratic ones​


Crime trends and violence worse in California’s Republican-voting counties than Democratic-voting counties​





And in blue California, the cities run by Republicans are far more dangerous.

Why You’re Far More Likely to Be Murdered in Fresno or Bakersfield than San Francisco or L.A.​




Facts matter.
 
That's why he spun off into racism.
I didn’t spin off to anything. It’s just your pathetic way of not answering the charge. Sorry but explaining who is causing the majority of violent crime isn’t even remotely racist or racism. It’s necessary to unveil who is committing the crime as generally speaking that is usually an indicator of local politics. Then you can begin to see why some red states have bad stats. It’s sad really. Leftist filth and their disgusting agenda has caused decades of pain and suffering for millions of Americans and has led to the death of millions of babies.

In the last year alone 5 high profile murders of innocent women have occurred at the hands of people who should have been in prison if not for leftist marshmallow soft crime policy. That I remember never mind how many innocents have died that simply don’t make the news. Dead innocent Americans because your leftist policy let the bad guy out early. Pathetic

Millions of babies?
 
It was going to blow up regardless because it's the inane argument that crime management is better handled by one party over the other. Bad arguments tend to go down in flames.
Rudy Giuliani proved your above tripe 100 percent bull crap. Current leftist policies like nail reform and defunding police have further proved you not just wrong but pathetically wrong.

https://nypost.com/2022/10/11/dems-shameless-ploy-to-blame-crime-rise-on-red-states/amp/

Here are some stats to help you figure out how wrong and frankly how much of a sucker you have been. Or maybe you already knew and are trying to deceive. Either way it’s pretty pathetic.
 
Eliminate a city? How would you do that? Put zem on ze train and send zem East?

You can of course prove that.
No remove them from the stats for purposes of showing you what I’m talking about.

I already proved it.
 
monroe la - republican, hispanic population leans heavily right, 40% of population, white/black 20% and centrist

so i mean no. you're wrong. alaska? want to tackle that? anchorage, #3 most dangerous, 5% black
I can research it if you like however I did say the vast majority as in not all but most.

This will likely have a leftist caused explanation and blow up in your face like all the others have so far. I will check when I can.
 
I live in Colorado Springs, CO, one of the most conservative cities in the whole ****ing country. City council has been controlled by Republicans since I moved here in 1991. The crime rate in my city per capita is higher than it is in your town, so what was that about crime rates being specific to Democrat run locations?

Thanks for yet another example supporting my claim.

Sorry your theories on race aren't panning out.
 
And it appears Monroe county LA’s increase in violent crime is being caused by young gang thugs and the drug industry. Give you one guess which side they are on.
 
^ This opinion seems very civil and sane.



Florida is dragged down by ignorant righties who want to keep gutting education.
Live in Florida pal it’s a handful of shitholes.

My business rests in the center of one. It’s almost all black on black gang crime.

So far I have personally watched 9 shots being fired at a rival gang member. I saw the flame coming from the gun and then the target running away.

Next 17 shots fired between 2 gangs outside my business only thing hit was My SUV’s windshield.

At least 10 incidents probably far more of law enforcement using my DVR video to investigate shootings or murders……..deal with TPD, HCSO, and the ATF regularly aside from that. Five murders of people I knew as customers maybe more.

I am forced to carry a gun daily. I sleep in my business during hurricanes to prevent looting. I slept in it for 11 days during the floyd riots. I deal with hood people daily.

So it really is something that I know well. When I see it on tv in other cities and states, it’s obvious. Don’t have to research it but I do anyway.

Sounds like you made bad life choices, and like every right winger, you blame everyone else.
 
So we tell you that leftist filth are destroying this country. Here is an example.

the problem is that the "average job" isn't enough anymore
 
Rudy Giuliani proved your above tripe 100 percent bull crap. Current leftist policies like nail reform and defunding police have further proved you not just wrong but pathetically wrong.
Incorrect. The above "tripe" are violent crime stats viewed outside of your cherry picked narrative. No cities have defunded the police in the true meaning of that statement; funds have been reallocated in some cities and directed toward community programs to help reduce crime using other methods than just the reactive approach.

Ah...the "without cities there's no crime!!". That's one of the more absurd premises out there. I mean, I guess that makes sense if one doesn't care about eliminating the places where 80% of the US population lives. What's next, "without bad people the world would be great!".
:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
I wouldn't. They tend to skew conservative in ideology. They also tend to be the same mother****ers who will try to tell you about how thier successes were a product of nobody but themselves, completely ignoring things like the employer who paid them a wage that allowed for them to save up to start the businesses they now own AND eat or sleep under a functional roof, which is funny given the topic and all.

It never ceases to amaze me how so many of them miss the fact that if the employers they had worked for before getting to where they are now had done to them what they are defending today, they wouldn't be where they are today.
Worked for less than 20 bucks an hour. 56 hours a week. My employer was nothing special. Could have found jobs earning much more and with benefits. My job had few bennies. I was happy and comfortable there. So to say my employer made me is moronic and laughable. To suggest that my employer wasn’t easily replaceable also laughable. Anyway let’s get into what really gave us the opportunity to open our business. My wife also worked her ass off. We didn’t buy new cars like all our friends. We didn’t vacation expensively EVER. We didn’t rent ever. We bought a small and cheap home in the hood. Then when paid off we sold and bought a larger home modestly priced. Nothing flashy. We saved everything we could save. We stayed conservative and disciplined for ****ING DECADES!!!!!!! While you leftists dined out and bought the new car every 5 years, we saved. So don’t come over here now giving our credit to a dead end job I could have left dozens of times over the years.

Just because you lack the discipline to do what we did is irrelevant.

And what’s with “they” ****ing racist shit right there. Pathetic. “They”……..as in those brown mother ****ers who are skewing right ……racist and hypocritical and pathetic.
 
What is this bullshit? Arrests are up by 200,000 and this equals an open border?
You living under a rock? 5 million illegals have been allowed in the last 2 years! FIVE MILLION and they arrested 200,000 lol.

And that’s not counting the “got aways”.

They past open border at 2 million. It’s a wide ****ing open border now and only bullshit to a leftist who didn’t even know this simple fact. Seriously if this is the level of your knowledge on the subject just quit. I’d rather not play.

Five million? Why not 30 billion? After all...this is the Internet....LOL.

You have a very angry tone. Did you work today Daddyo?
 
MAGA lunatics are bad for the country and bad for the species. They are primates that have learned to ignore outside stimuli, persisting in beliefs that simply aren't true, because listening to their spray-tan Jesus is easier than thinking.
I listed how we are good and you are bad for the country. Gove specifics or concede.

Sure.

1. You're populists. Populists are by definition brain damaged. You expected a narcissistic billionaire to care about your future.
2. When you lose elections, you lose your minds. Instead of planning for the next elections, you attempt a coup, which brings us to...
3. You suck at coups.
4. Populists distrust expertise. If it were left to you, we'd still live in caves, hoping the buffalo come this year. Populists distrust expertise because...
5. Populists are angered by the idea that someone might actually be better than them.
6. MAGA freaks believe in kissing the asses of Xi, Putin, and that muppet in North Korea. Because they don't actually have any use for the republic.
7. MAGA freaks want everyone to be free, but only free to be just like them.
8. MAGA freaks hate the rule of law, including the constitution and ratified treaties.
9. MAGA freaks can bend their brains around any number of ways to accommodate their Dear Leader's lies. This isn't mental agility, it's basically the end game of servility.
10. MAGA freaks hate the military, they hate the government of the people, and basically there's nothing at all about America that they like.
