Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
Yes, it is the utra-liberal Washington Post, but occassionally their editors make a mistake and let some REAL American in. This is time is Neel Kashakari.

No more 'me first' mentality on entitlements Quote:
If greed is not rewarded why should any of them work at all? HOWEVER, this "greed is good" it totally unacceptable went it comes to social entitlements. The poor did not EARN the right to be paid to do nothing like the son of a hard working CEO. This is just money wasted that cripples the countries potential and moral fiber. Americans need to know they can rely on themselves, not be some economic cripple like FDR and be forced to rely on some Nanny State. There is a time for collective public action; like when we need to wage wars upon other people's. That is time for selflessness and American citizens should be willing step forward to fill the ranks of our nations military. They need to drop their selfishness and understand American business has every right to get top dollar for the equipment they supply to fight these wars too. They need to understand the rich need to focus on war production and not be distracted so their son's should be exempted from any conscription. Americans just need to get over their selfishness. |
Re: Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
The poor fail to realize that they are an indispensible part of the American system. Every economist knows that we need at least 3 or 4% unemployment to make sure employers have a well of cheap labor to keep producing optimally. If it wasn't for starving, out of work, desperate people, who would do back breaking, menial labor in the hot sun? We would have to import more Mexi-can'ts.
I think one of the reasons that the South stopped fighting the Civil War was because they realized that we needed negras to be free so that they could constitute a vast lower class to provide cheap labor and justify the inflated law enforcement budgets that keep our families safe. Of course, they failed to realize that this would also bring AIDS, crack cocaine, gangs, and Barack Obama into our society. |

Re: Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
It's like that terrific ex-Negro, Thomas Sowell, said the other day, "There is much discussion of the haves and the have-nots, but very little discussion of the doers and the do-nots." You betcha, Tom. Which reminds me that Wal-Mart has done more for poor people than any ten liberals ever have (at least nine of whom are guaranteed to hate Wal-Mart!), and you can take THAT to the Olive Garden with you.

Re: Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
The poor I know are not greedy. There are many people living off of SSI or SSDI who are living off of less than $1000 per month. They do there best to make it. There are also the working class who has to work at minimum wage and try to make it again off of about $1000 per month. These people are on housing, getting food stamps just to make it. I believe the rich need to help out the poor. Donate to a cereal drive that feeds kids breakfast during the summer, donate to a food pantry there are people who needs it.

Re: Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
The maximum income of a family of 4 can make and draw food stamps is $2167 which is not alot of money. And The maximum a family of 4 can draw is $518 in food stamps and most people on food stamps dont even draw that they draw less. The average food stamps per person is about $3 per day can you only eat off of $3 per day?

Quote:
You see, disgusting liberals and theorists - who are usually liberals - think of poverty in the negative, as the lack of riches - as disease might be called the lack of health. But it isn't. Poverty is not the lack of anything, but a positive plague, virulent in itself, contagious as cholera, with filth, criminality, vice and despair as only a few of its symptoms. It is to be stayed away from, even for purposes of study. It is to be shunned. |
Re: Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
It's simple economics why the greedy poor are bad.
Give a REAL American (as in rich, Republican, Baptist) man $100,000 and he will use it to by an antique suite of armor from Germany, Spanish scented candles, a life size Italian sculptured statue of himself for the living room and flies his private jet to France to dine out at a five start restaurant with the rest. The candles, statue, and armor will pay for a UPS delivery truck drivers $15 hour wage. Cut the richman's $100,000 by 10% and the richman will have to cut back so UPS will be forced to fire the$15 an hour UPS driver and subcontract out to a Mexican delivery company for $3.00 an hour. Not good for the economy, is it? On top of that there are more illegals in the country thanks to the out of control federal government. Now instead you take the $100,000K gave $100 each to 1,000 poor people. What's going to happen? They will go waste it on cheep clothing, furniture and 1,000 meals at McDonalds and other stuff they "need". So that only pays for about twenty or so Wallmart workers at $6.00 a hour and eleven or so McDonald workers at $11.00 an hour. How does that benefit the economy? More fat poor people and ugly furniture. Now we give the richman 10% more and he is going to redo his living room with hand crafted, Shogun period Japanese furniture. UPS has more business. The economy soars! |

Re: Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
These people need food stamps because all they do is eat. They need to get off their fat behinds and work. The harder they work, the more they can earn. It is the American way. If they'd get a job and thank Jesus for allowing them to live in the greatest country there ever was in the world, God would ensure they were well provided for.
Nothing makes me madder than people looking for a handout. When I see someone with a handout, I want to put gloves and shovel in them (available at the Hutchins plantation company store - financing on site.) |

Re: Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
Taxes arent all bad - they help preventing homelessnes. let's look at some statistics:
First off. find a country with a high tax rate. Denmark. Now - compare. We'll just take a random american city, say San Francisco. San Francisco: Tax Rate: 10-35% Number of Homeless folks:7-10.000 Total Population: 815.000 one in every 82-116 is homeless Denmark: Tax Rate: 40-60% Number of Homeless folks: 4.500-5.000 Total Population: 5.500.000 1 in every 1100-1222 is homeless. Higher taxes is not always a bad thing. |

Society depends on the the Rich to keep the economy going. Rich people buy the stuff that keeps Americans employed like Italian marbles, French wine, pink Himalayan rocks salt and Egyptian cotton sheets. Human trash like the poor aren't going to by stuff like that. No they are just going to waste that money on off the rock clothes and cheep food from McDonald's. It makes no sense to tax the rich since we are all dependent on them. PS Just say no to drugs |
Re: Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
I am just looking at facts, and they speak pretty clearly. If the homeless are all bad people spending their money on stupid things, why not get rid of them?
The statistics speaks for themselves - 0,08% (Denmark) vs 1,22% (USA). The american number is 15 times higher - the danish system is clearly working. Or maybe the danes are just more capable at earning money than the americans. |

How about doing a fair comparison of two cities with similar population density? When you include the nationwide VAT, India has higher taxes than the US. How does the rate of homelessness in San Francisco compare to that of Mumbai? Pastor Billy-Reuben |

Re: Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
Don't forget the Elephant in the Room that the liberals don't want to mention: Another reason why there's less homelessness in Denmark than San Francisco is because there's more white people in Denmark. Everyone there is blonde and blue eyed, and we know for a fact that blonde and blue-eyed people are simply more intelligent and hard-working. Now, compare that to San Francisco which is the toilet of America. You get drug-addled hippies, perverts in fishnets, migrant Mexican workers, and all sorts of other scum.
Anywhere where there is a majority of white people (like 90%+), you will find record-low amounts of violence, homelessness, poverty, etc. The converse is also true when you look at negro or Mexican population. Liberals don't want to admit that because then people will know they are actually racist! |
Re: Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
If you wish to believe leftist liberal groups like the "National Alliance to End Homelessness", there are 671,859 homeless people in the United States.
The US population is 310,686,344. Therefore, 0.2162% of the US population is homeless, not the 0.85% you show in your San Francisco example. If your example applied to the entire country, there would be 2,668,472 homeless people in the US. With a little more "help" from Obama, we just might reach or exceed that number in the coming months. |

Correction: They want a handout, while my husband actually works to provide for his family. Why should WE provide for the LAZY? The poor wouldn't be poor if they'd quit stuffing their faces, cranking out children before marriage, and whining about how bad they have it. I personally think they should do away with Food Stamps, Section 8 housing, welfare, etc. It makes people lazy and teaches NOTHING!! |
Re: Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
I have a point.
Let's assume there must be a percentage of poor to keep the economy running, like someone mentioned earlier. But let's face it. Who wants to be poor? It's easy to bitch about the poor when you're not one yourself. |
Re: Selfishness makes America GREAT, except for the GREEDY poor!
First of all, I am sorry for digging up this thread but I have some questions to the good people of this forum.
I had been reading the bible and I came upon this passage on Luke 6:20 which says: "Blessed are you poor, For the yours is the kingdom of God." Then I happen to stumble onto this forum. Help me enlighten my understanding. What does that mean exactly, in a relationship to the views expressed on this forum? Thank you in advance for helping me get to the truth. |
