Joe the Plumber " I once was on welfare, my parents twice!"

Joe the Plumber " I once was on welfare, My parents twice!". My question to Joe is " Where do you think welfare money comes from?", if taxpayers money helped you climb the social ladder, once you are pretty high up there shouldnt you return the favor, Selfish Joe.

Salamfall, you are misinformed. I hope you have learned more in the past year. There is no WELFARE, there is Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, that an adult may receive for up to 5 yrs in their lifetime. Women can have kids til 50. Getting that money, which is less than 1/3 of the amount of the poverty line, requires the parent to spend at least 30 hrs a wk in job training or work program. The entire government program cost $1.8 billion in 2009, the same price as 5 days of Afghan war.

Translation: "I needed help, but now I don't. So screw the people who still do need help."

Why is foodstamps, pell grants etc. Given to the poor considered welfare but the farm subsidize (250k) given to michele bachman or oil subsidize, fannie mae, freddie mack etc. Not considered welfare? Is it b/c illegals dnt pay taxes? B/c illegals pay into ss in the billions and never benefit from it, not to mention state taxes, property taxes etc. Most economist agree that illegals have a neutral or positive effect on our economy, so just quit the bullshit arguements right wingers

The comments by salamfall tells me salamfall has never worked to support his family. do you still live off your parents or better yet obama salamfall are you or have you ever been on welfare?

[msusesherbrain]

Are you people DA's or what. Joe speaks the truth but only in ignorance do not understand. I guess it being simple means it is beyond your comprehension. And the comment on the bottom what written by a complete moron. May obama give you what everyone of you idiots deserve, nothing. He is talk and hot air and has never done an honest days work in his half white life.

Parents with an ''s''? Most welfare recipients are single mothers.

@demetererinyes I wouldn't bother, reality and conservatives don't really get along that well.

@argebarse Nor did he every make over 200K and he wasn't ever planning to buy his boss's business. Amazing how that got blown up. All false and people just keep buying.

And we all PAY for Medicare out of every paycheck. CJust like we all pay for Social Security. It's an entitlement because we ARE entitled to it. It's our own money. Don't let those, paid also with our tax money who have full health care from out tax payer money convince you that the majority of the population are greedy lazy bastards. They have been working to have had checks that money came out of. And trust me, Republicans use and like their Medicare too.

@TruRepublicans Completely false and uninformed statement. Here's a great example now:
