Leave it to a democrat to know the details.
Kinda proves my point...

Sly,

On that last point I agree. The state is very screwed up in this regard. One thing I hear a lot is that if a person getting benefits gets a job very often the wages are not enough to make up for the amount the administration deducts from the benefit. The end result being a person is then putting in more work and making less money than before. I personally think that raising wages is the best solution to this problem and there are various ways to go about it.

They have been in card form for over ten years,just look how out of touch the average conservative is about the poor(don't forget working poor)in their own country.

I like how he tries to make knowledge sound bad.

I certainly wish they would tell me too. Things are better since I live in a subsidized home, but I still don't get a lot of money; even in Canada living on disabilities is not a luxury.

Even my old man (a democrat) admitted that he had voted for Reagan (yes, that Reagan) back then just to get rid of that bumbling Georgia peanut farmer. Apparently a lot of democrats did, hence the term "Reagan Democrat".
What should that tell you?

/\ Didn't picture you as a fan of Orwell.
As for the humble peanut farmer,maybe he wasn't the best president.But he is a fine human being.
I'm not going to judge him on faulty decisions while in office,but a truly devout Christian is suppose to care for the poor,Jesus said so.So all the conservative Christians who b***h about helping the poor aren't truly following the example that Jesus set.He did say you would always have the poor.Mark 14:7

Some people think having a job/career is the only possible way to be doing anything useful or contributing to society, though I disagree. Granted a lot of people with jobs also need some government assistance to. I am also on disability living on less than 800$ a month due to difficulties with my autism and various other more psychological issues. Anyways I cannot fathom how someone legitimately collecting disability could get wealthy off it or take lavish vacations to places like the bahamaus. It's not even enough to live independently on, at best you can live with room-mates and pay a portion of rent...or I suppose if you get in a relationship with someone who makes enough that you and them can just afford a cheap apartment or a trailer or maybe a rather run down house if you're really, really lucky.

That said I certainly don't have as many responsibilities as it seems you do, but I do actually get up during the day...I help friends/family with housework and chores, I have helped friends and family move(packing, hauling boxes) and well I could go on but point is I don't just laze around I do my part. And yes I do spend some of my money on things that aren't absolute nessecities especially if I've just helped someone with a big project and want to reward myself with some leisure time. But yeah I really hate the constant stigma directed at people on EBT and disability welfare...because some frauds who don't even make up half the people on these programs.

I sure hope you're not really a nurse. I'm white, working, and from a middle-class family - but I've personally seen the damage that idiots like you can do to an innocent patient in the hospital just because they don't meet your standards of 'valuable human.'

That is a good point, I am not a big fan of Obama either....still hasn't convinced me to vote right wing, since I do for one still need my SSI, EBT and medicaid and the current right is much more prone to social conservatism than the left. But I wouldn't consider myself an Obama supporter or a democrat, though I registered democrat to vote for Bernie.

Maybe it has to do more with people on food stamps, actually know how it works vs someone who hasn't had to rely on a program like that due to being unable to afford adequate food and is just attempting to demonize the poor. And what was your point exactly?

Well, I see one personal attack in there.
Besides, someone can have their beliefs but not take them to work if doing so could actually "damage" someone.

Only when I can use him to my own ends.


He was elected to be the President of the United States, not a fine human being.
What's this about Jesus? Are you born again?


I donate
I pay taxes
I support a social safety net
I work with homeless dogs (yeah, they don't vote so I guess they don't count)

Honestly, I'm just about ready to start really playing Mr. hardball conservaive to show you all what one is.
I'll have loads of fun with it and you all will scream TROLL!! !

I'm pretty sure Angela is a great nurse, and cares about her clients. I'm SURE she treats all her clients equally.

She's just a conservative politically. I don't agree with some of her ideas--but it doesn't mean she's a bad person.

Sometimes, politics makes people seem worse than they actually are.
