Who votes themselves government goodies?

nope, the turnip truck was full of vegans licking the manure off the turnips, there's wasn't any room for me.

do you have argument to make, or is you being an asshole the only thing in question here?

the whole thing is childish. leftover money. rich people controlling elections being a good thing.
 
what is the proper amount of money in politics?
Travel expenses, salaries and venue rentals. Political advertising should be done away with.

I don't know if i agree or disagree... but how do candidates get their messages out there without advertising?
 
Virtually everyone votes themselves government goodies. The rich, the poor, conservative, liberal, everyone does it.

thats true, however if the constitution had been adhered to this would not be the case.

once the federal government got involved in the lives liberty and property of the people, which they were never intended to be......you see these kinds of problems
 

don't forget about the yucky "pursuit of happiness"

Of course it would. People have been using the government for their own benefit since before it was even around. You know, kind of like how the wealthy white landowners who created the government made it so that only white landowners could vote? That seems like giving yourself government goodies to me.

I've been saying this for years. It makes no sense for people to rail on about food stamps, when we have BIG money going to wealthy corporations in the form of subsidies, tax breaks, assistance. Heck, we even make it tax advantageous to outsource jobs!

It's against our own good and is bad for our economy. But since corporations fund the politicians, there's no solution on the horizon. Quite the opposite.
 
Which... isn't in the Constitution, have a nice day.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

The Bill of Rights
 
"the pursuit of happiness"

Umm... that would be the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.
 

people who own land and paid taxes could vote, which was a Qualifications requisite set by each state
 
that's the way it should still be, white? I mean, right?

the founders wanted people who had a stake in america, in other words, why should you have a vote in government if you don't support it with taxes

by the way, remember we are talking about state governments, not federal

lots of stuff called corporate "welfare" is actually quid pro quo agreements

For example, I own a NFL franchise. IN Say Cleveland Ohio. I pay lots and lots of taxes. Pay lots of rent for the stadium. Columbus comes to me and say-Hey move your team to Columbus and we will let you use the OSU stadium rent free. SO I get "welfare" but Columbus also makes millions from having 75,000 fans 10 times a year in Columbus

what exactly do we get for subsidizing people having children they cannot afford to raise

an educated healthy population. I can't believe this needs to be explained to an adult.

straw man alert-I didn't say spending money on education, I said subsidizing people to irresponsibly breed.
