Just to point something out, why should people who have worked their way to the top and have high paying jobs be penalized for being successful? The rich should not have to pay the poor who sit on their asses and expect everyone else to take care of them. The majority of people on welfare could get a job and provide for themselves but its much easier to sit around and wait for the government to put their hands in my pocket and give it to lazy dumbasses Not all poor people are like that though

@RyansCurse Uh.. what jobs are these people gonna get when people who had jobs are being laid off.. seriously.. that rhetoric doesn't make any sense

[RyansCurse]

@xdugef really? cause im pretty sure there are jobs out there. Just jobs that nobody wants. Hey working at mc donalds, or being a janitor somewhere is a crappy job for someone but swallow your pride and do whats gotta be done. Im not saying everyone on wellfare is lazy or that they dont have legit reason for being on wellfare. im saying that there are plenty of people who could be providing for themselves. I can see both sides off the coin.

And I'm proud to be an Arabian

Where Its always Woe is me

There's apartheid out in Palestine

And in Iraq there is bombing

I thank America for all of this

Blissful democracy

Which they do not give a damn about it

If your an oil providing Saudi.

[RyansCurse]

IGNORANCE.....

"Proud to be an American, where at least i know i'm thumb-scanned, and all my phone calls get listened to"... I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican. I'm one pissed off American who is sick of seeing our great country and our liberties being destroyed everyday. Songs like this may make you feel better for now but they don't solve our problems. Until we all first admit both parties have screwed us over and it's up to We The People, then we will continue on our current path. No hard feelings RC.

[RyansCurse]

No hard feelings at all. I actually agree with you in some ways. I agree that it is up to us, We The People.

[007ObiWan]

Just say no to Obama Bin Biden.

Amazing song sends chills down my spine every time! Love it

@RyansCurse Also what percentage of the population do you believe at the ones who are taking advantage of the system? What percentage of the population do you see as having the most wealth and the biggest advantage? The conservatives are pretty good at getting their middle class supporters into believing that anything that is good for wealthy elite is good for them when it is not.. they don't care about middle class. The proof is in the current debates about extending the tax breaks.

[xdugef]

@RyansCurse Well statistically speaking there are not jobs out there seeing as the unemployment rates are at a high. But at the same time .. there are jobs that immigrants are willing to do but because they are willing they are despised. There's alot of hypocrisy to go around. Perhaps some of these "dumbasses" would be more capable of providing for themselves if they had gotten a better education.. but that's probably their fault too right?

@RyansCurse true

Im proud to be an American where gov is half of GDP.

And I thank the men who died in wars, to prop up our currency.

And I fetishize, the constitution, but the state is not constrained.

And I worship paper and the flag just like I was trained.

[IndividualAutonomy]

From the infantile democrats, to the merchantilist GOP,

across Iraq and Afghanistan, to our commanders in Galilee,

From the AMA to AIPAC, the lawyers and AARP,

When someone says their life won't start,

It must be because they're lazy

[IndividualAutonomy]

And Im proud to be an American cuz we're a little bit more free.

And I thank the men who died in wars, to prop up our currency.

And I fetishize, the constitution, but the state is not constrained.

And I worship paper and the flag, just like I was trained.

[IndividualAutonomy]

When all my savings are gone thanks to the federal reserve's plan,

I'll have to start again and send my kid to the state-run camps,

Ill thank my lucky stars for the taxes I still pay,

Beause if I resisted, they'd take my life away.
