Only reason why white people are talking like this these days is because they feel threatened. That's what they do best. They slowly come out of the racist closet and start throwing jabs at others.

you should read "The Constitution of Liberty" by F. Hayek if you want to have some perspective and know more about welfare and it's consequences. It is not a racial matter my friend. Sure, they were unwise to say that as an example. Lets stick to the welfare issue.

Government giving free money to corporate banks in the United States?? Isn't that....welfare? At the very least s o c i a l i s m ? I thought Americans HATED socialism.

[edavismookie25]

Most people are like that. Clueless. Any government assistance in whatever form, in whatever shape, and in whatever amount is WELFARE.

[edavismookie25]

Or created it.

The Young Turk (who is lying about his age hehehe) should stop using the word racist. You see racist is a word used for emotional manipulation, not based of fact, logic or reason, but on pure emotion and only only only only only on white people that disagree with the left.

Look at the Young Turk--he grew old talking about Rush Limbaugh.

The gov't can only give you things after they've taken it from some one else.

INSANE FARE: Poor Whites living in dilapidated Out Houses. Living on Welfare & Food Stamps. But are Extreme Right Wingers. As shown on HBO Bill Maher: INSANE FARE. Proliferating Communities with, HAND GUNS, ASSAULT WEAPONS, MACHINE GUNS & ROCKET LAUNCHERS. Then using Tax Payers money on GUN BUY BACK PROGRAMS. Los Angelos: Our Money is being burned to correct unbelievable incredible Insanity. The Inmates are running the Asylums!

I love how Romney conveniently forgets that Veteran Assistance is welfare yet he claims to love and support our military. Dumbass.

I'm a Brit, and I've had to go on our version of welfare: which is designed to assist people who are out of work, make ends meet while they search for a new job.I have been fortunate enough to land some good opportunities since then, but I had to do government training courses and the like in order to show my determination. While enlisted on these courses, I met an awful lot of other people in the same situation as myself... The main difference being, 75% of them didn't want to work, legally.
