Your parents must be niggers too!

I like how they failed to address the reason for the debt, Unfunded tax cuts, 2 unfunded wars, the unfunded medicare part d and a horrible economy. All of thoese policies are still in play the debt will increase. Social Security is not the reason for the debt.

Hopefully, the College Republicans will be Ron Paul voters in 2012!

@MomentsAfter If you're talking about Canada when you say that the rich pay almost all the taxes, then that could be a different story, but it's certainly not like that here in the states. That's where all this is actually happening, not Canada. The rich doesn't pay shit for taxes and the government and middle class pretty much just dump money on them based on the flimsy premise that someday we might be rich too.

@MomentsAfter I agree that people on welfare should be given the tools to get a job. But don't you agree that one of those tools would be money and health? Seems to me that, in USA, it's easy to get richer when your already rich. But do you know a lot of people who got richer starting with no money? That Hershey guy was exceptional, a great man. But there is always luck in exceptional stories. Effort does not do it all and money does most of the work for you. Especially in USA.

@MomentsAfter You can't afford healthcare to your family by mowing law

Here in Canada the rich are taxed about 3 times more than in USA : There are less very rich people who don't know what to do with their money and less poverty. There are people who don't bring much to society but they are mostly sad people with a very sad life. It's a big problem almost impossible to fix but I feel letting them on their own would only aggravate the problem (more people on the streets and orphans)

lastly : When you say a person needs chance, intelligence, etc, you're forgetting something. Look up the story of Milton Hershey. He failed 7 times before finally making Hershey's chocolate. Someone can study for 30 minutes or not at all and ace a test. Someone with a bad memory can't, but if they study for 10 hours, they can. In the end, it all comes down to effort. If you're determined, you can do anything. People without arms learn to play piano with their feet.

(adding to my response...) People on welfare aren't given the tools to get a job. If the government wants to help anyone, they should lead by example and pay off their debt by cutting their spending. Handing out welfare checks does not help the problem. More and more people are becoming unemployed, Americans are getting lazier, China is moving ahead, our poverty level has increased under Obama, etc. People won't sit if they don't have a check. They'll do what it takes (work).

People don't need to be helped by the government. The government can't even help itself. Look at the debt the country is in. Neighbors need to help neighbors. People need to learn how to get back on their feet. Go to yard sales, and buy and sell stuff. There are tons of ways to make money. Go door to door and ask to mow lawns. Deliver newspapers. Do what it takes. If you have a family, you do what it takes to provide. You don't sit and say "there's no jobs. hand me a check"

@Grossebrebbie

I agree about the humans vs monkeys thing. But in all honesty, churches do a better job of helping the poor than the government does. People should try to help other people. But there's a difference between doing that willingly and the government forcing it. And that money doesn't necessarily go to help the poor. During Katrina, church groups were helping victims before the Red Cross even showed up (days later). The govt. hands out welfare checks.
