How do you identify the "undeserving"? Simple - they're not white. Ever since Reagen there has been an "entrance into political orthodoxy" of the icon of the "welfare queen."
I would define the ultimate manifestations of "Big Government" as:
1. Interference, Occupation of, and presence of government outside its borders by having military bases across the world..
2. Corporate Welfare; taxpayers money handed to private corporations (welfare spongers such as Halliburton and Lockheed, for example)
3. A Government bureaucracy that wastes trillions of taxpayers money, is fiscally incompetent, and utterly corrupt,. The bloated, fat pig that is the Pentagon springs to mind.
You are a douchebag communist. Tea party patriots believe in smaller government, period. When the rest of the world calls in our debt and tries to make us their slaves, I won't share my ammo with the ones who voted to spend all our money.
@dlstb That's OK ... you need not share the ammo ... after the military wipes you out with Apache attack helicopters and Abrahms tanks, I'll just scavenge your bunker to find the ammo myself.
Have fun storming the castle!
(BTW - I bet that one single platoon of regular Army - not even Special Ops - would wipe out you and all your nutty ass friends inside of an hour...wanna prove me wrong? Go ahead & start, if you win I will Pledge Allegiance to YOU!)
@FedMoos HA! Your name makes you sound like you're a gov't cow!
But seriously, I was in the military and I oversaw the training of several hundred Marines rifle and pistol training weekly. I don't want to fight my brothers in arms, and God willing they will be on the side of the people, protecting the document that they swore under oath to protect as I did. But, for ANYONE who comes into my home and tries to take away my rights (which I know are a very abstract idea for some) there is no hope
so you fished for a few soundbites from a few confused old folks, likely taking a conversation out of context, and now ALL tea party folks are hypocrites. did it ever occur to you that some folks out there realize that some social programs are good and benificial, while some are not? do you think the billions, trillions in bailouts are good for this county?
The tea party was started by the 9-11 truth movement. Then Government operatives took over. Now we have the government handled left yelling about the government handled right. One puppeteer and two puppets. Wake up! There is no right or left. Only Bank and corporate controlled government and we the people.
What a douche. The core issue is the federal reserve, but you don't seem to mention it at all. Your taxes pay interest on debt not salaries, get it straight.
they dont even know what the fuck they stand for or what politics even mean. They scream, yell and try to think smart but have no understanding about any of the issues.
welcome to the new america. this country was built by generations of white Europeans that were the earliest settlers of the new world. now we just take in third world scum. they only care to recreate america into what ever third world shit hole they came from. they are doing the same to greater Europe in it breaks my heart in two to see my people letting it happen and seemingly glad to do so. how will they contribute to a well developed white mans society when they themselves come from failure?
You get used to it. Then they all turn on you like clockwork because they have to justify your misery. Eventually, I'll clear up again and since there aren't people trying to kill me, I might not relapse as fast, or I'll just finally burn out. I'm coming out of the cloud.
@copperscorpion Only in your sick mind. Where, EXACTLY, did i say anything about race? Typical teabagger there, folks. No grasp on reality. Probably dabbled in witchcraft and wants to use "second amendment remedies" (treason) if they lose an election. HAHAHA!
Great video. I've been telling these things to people for years. Everyone is in favor of cutting government spending, as long as it is not THEIR program or THEIR benefits.
yes your right i don't think people who don't want to work, get drunk and smoke weed don't deserve to get free money. and yes do i think people who get up everyday work hard and make money instead of whining about how hard it is to sit at home and do nothing to make money don't deserve it.
The problem is that poor people are disproportionately balck and brown. Tea partiers are racist and are scapegoating the "lazy, poor" black/brown people of this country.
There are tough people in this country who need or deserve the welfare from the government, like those who have fought for this country and now they are determinately disabled to a point in that they can not work, or even in some cases move. them and those who have been in this country for so long and have payed many taxes and now they are to old to brittle to work. But there are those who do not need handouts, like people who think they cant get a job and feel sorry for themselves when they can
Why does he yell outrage so much? Why does he hate white people and the middle class. I just started watching this. I am confused by the yelling though.
oh my god... im a conservative... and i agree with you! funny part is, my parents are tea partiers... and they agree too!! thats 3 to 1.. better watch out, i think your opinion, here, is leaning to the right. to answer your question, i have seen, at least 3 people mooch the system. 2 were for unemployment, and 1 was welfare. best part was, they were bragging about it. in my CONSERVATIVE opinion, you're right, the people that need it, should get it. but yes, there are people that abuse it
In order to be smart remarks, they would have to be smart. This entire video is about elderly who are on social security. What this goof fails to mention is that these old folks who are on social security, worked for and earned their social security. These are not socialists they are Americans who put money into an account which was designed to provide care for them when they could no longer work. It was politicians who stole and gave away the money these people paid into their account.
The elderly are deserving because they paid their way and paid their social security account. It was politicians who stole money from these accounts and politicians who gave money earmarked for those who paid into their account to others who did not work for it. ie illegals etc. This is what angers the tea party folks and what they are fighting about
Blanket statements like "the elderly are deserving" irk me. Are they? All of them? Or "younger folks aren't deserving." Why not? What if they just got fired from a good job? And illegals? Are you kidding me? They usually get nothing from the government other than emergency healthcare (what you would let them die in the street?) and generally they do pay income tax. So they contribute much more than they take out.
The problem with your tea parties is how woefully uninformed they are.
I have talked to people associated with the 'Tea Party' movement and people who think the 'Tea Party' is a bunch of racist and bigots. I have found that those who associate themselves with the Tea Party movement on a whole are more knowledgable politically and socially than those who call themselves liberals.
I myself will not call myself a Republican, a Democrat, a Conservative nor a Liberal. I am a moderate Independent who can think for himself.
@Harb40 Well then I'm sad to say you're in the minority, or if you're not then it's about time the moderate, reasonable tea partiers let themselves be heard instead of the raving lunatics we see representing the movement every day.
Why if the tea partiers are so well informed do they let themselves be used for conservative anti-immigrant, vague anti-Obama propaganda? And where were they a couple of years ago when liberals were protesting Bush running the economy into the ground?
FIrst, I am not a Tea Party member but I can understnad a lot of what they are frustrated about.
Second, I have not heard one single person associated with the Tea Party ever say they are 'anti-immigration' or as you put it 'anti-immigrant'. They are saying the same thing I say, we welcome immigrants "AS LONG AS THEY COME HERE LEGALLY"! There is a big difference there that 99.999995% of Liberasls cannot understand.
I am opposed to letting anyone, regardless of age, who comes here illegally (with the exception of political asylum) to even be considered for citizenship. My maternal Grandmother was 1st generation born American from Polish immigrants who waited their turn to board the ship and waited their turn in loine at the port they arrived in order to come here.
My patrernal ancestors came here legally from Scotland and Ireland. They did it legally. The Tea Party is not anti-immigrant.
@Harb40 Well that's fine. But since you suggested you need to research facts before you start shouting, tell me, when has Obama put forward any laws that would give current illegals a general pardon? You must've found something like that to suggest that's in the works, but I've never heard of anything like that outside the right wing blogs.
So what are they really angry about? Not facts, but the inflammatory lies they hear on Fox news.
Bush started an amnesty route and got slammed for it. Nowhere do 'I' say Obama is giving them amnesty. Although it is what he wants. Listen to his speeches carefully.
I do find it funny that when a Democrat gets caught using illegal labor, it is just an honest mistake but when a Republican get caught, they are crucified?
Reagan granted amnesty to over 5 million and they kept coming. Clinton granted amnesty to over 2 million. Why are they still coming? Because they can.
Ask yourself, why was Obamas aunt here illegally? Why was she never deported? Why is she still classified as an illegal yet allowed to draw welfare. How can she draw welfare as an illegal? Obama knows why but he is the one pushing to get her amnesty.
If he can't even control his own flesh and blood family, why should he stop the Chinese, Mexicans, Hondurans, Nicaraguans and other illegals?
Furthermore illegals have _very little_ to do with the fiscal issues that tea partiers keep harping on about. They shout about illegals getting welfare and free health care but it's all nonsense. They ONLY get free healthcare in case of a life-threatening emergency. They don't qualify for welfare because they don't have social security numbers (although ironically taxes are taken out of their paychecks)
Illegals are net contributors. You don't hear 99.99% the tea partiers about that though.
Apparantly you do go into the 'Little Havanas' or 'Little Tijuanas'. The illegals do get free healthcare. They don't pay a dime unless they want to. The money comes from funds raised by illegal support groups.
Go into the industrial park areas, go to the day labor sections. Follow the workers to their neighborhoods after they get dropped off and you will find 'free clinics' all around.
The money is from gangs, drug dealers and pro-illegal groups. Dirty money. Check it out for yourself. The authorities won't stop it because eventually that money gets into our system. Why stop the flow of free money?
What is causing a large part of the problems are the tax breaks for the ultra wealthy that Bush introduced. Those are actually a direct cause to the ballooning deficit. But NONE of the "fiscally responsible" tea party candidate will talk about that. In fact they seem to be dead set on expanding and increasing tax breaks for the wealthy. Their policies aren't remotely connected to their rhetoric.
Tea Parties like Glenn Beck are all emotion and zero fact. That's why we can't take them seriously.
Show me the proof that only the ultra-wealthy are getting tax cuts? It was an accross the board tax cut. In fact the 'wealthy' received less of a tax cut than the rest of us did.
By the way, guess who are some of the wealthiest who use every loophole and tax dodge to keep from paying the taxes for incomes over $200,000? CONGRESS.
If more people would do as I do and research their facts before speaking or posting, then maybe there wouldn't be a need for groups like the Tea Party. Have you ever thought about that?
I have had this conversation with at least 3 Republicans and your right, they feel they are deserving, they paid taxes, they deserve any entitlement out there in which they can qualify for. When I've asked about the "undeserving" they usually have one person in mind, so I ask why haven't they turned them in for fraud? No answer. Recently one tea party member was going on about how his kid will have to pay for SS for my generation. I told him to tell them thanks.
If the republican worked for it then its not entitlement, its deserved. If you did not work for it you don't deserve it. Thats the difference between a Christian who works and deserves and one of the doctrine of philosophy (socialists, communist, progressive) who thinks the are entitled just because they exist.
How many conservative pundits took the same challenge that Steven Colbert took and tried to make it a day picking in the fields? I think the number was somewhere in the vicinity of zero. That's because it's harder to bellyache about how lazy migrant workers are when there's footage of you passing out trying to keep up with them.
And the question for me is, if there's waste in a program, like welfare - why not attack the waste instead of the whole program? Surely, most people are deserving.
Is this guy high? I guess he doesn't know the difference between welfare and a JOB. Hang him from a tree.

3. A Government bureaucracy that wastes trillions of taxpayers money, is fiscally incompetent, and utterly corrupt,. The bloated, fat pig that is the Pentagon springs to mind.
