LOL!!! How? By stopping meat vendors from throwing out their meats that werent sold? By giving people with nothing a small trinkle to be able to cope with? Your arguments are a joke Im sorry.
By paying farmers to destroy their crops and livestock when you have people in the cities facing high food prices. By banning private contracts and forcing people to give all their gold to the government and accept inflated fiat dollars. Please study American history.
LOL! Wasps comparing themselves to Jews? Considering the WASPs of America are the greatest killers and genociders, slave owners, international manipulators. People who have persecuted an entire 3rd world to benefit their pockets. Considering half of them harbor strongly racist and at times even anti-semetic feelings. To compare the most despicable and dirty aspect of America with the persecuted minorities of Europe (persecuted by people with the very same origins as the American wasps). The White population of America is a nation who should be ashamed of their ancestry. They have enslaved, mass murdered, and then persecuted and stigmatized those they murdered and enslaved, and finally they ghettoized them. A group of some of the most racist, ignorant and selfish people in the entire world. Unfortunately they have partly succeeded in instilling these values on many others who have come to their country (or been forced to) and have taught these values as intrinsic to their success.
This is just a ramble of an uneducated far-left liberal brainwashed by some fanatics. You are making racial remarks against white people and using white people as the scape goat.
Cut military spending, cut the billion dollar deals with dictators and persecutors (Israel) around the globe. Stop borrowing money to fund unnecessary wars and aggression. Start worrying about the people. America did this to itself. It has spent billions and trillions on unnecessary wars and campaigns while fooling its population that it is doing it in the name of freedom and defense. That is the way, social spending has nothing to do with it. American presidents (such as Reagan, perhaps one of the most racist and despicable of them all) have aided big business interests against those of the population (particularly those just below or just on the poverty line) while at the same time policing them to the extreme. They have spent billions and billions funding right-wing dictators and tyrants across the world (resulting in things like 911, something America had coming). But its too late now, the country is holding a wolf by the ears and only once it begins to shake at the foundation do I think that the country can experience true change.
I agree that America should change their foreign policy and return to non-intervention, bring all troops home from all the bases around the world, and return to a neutral foreign policy such as the Founding Fathers argued.
Reagan understood that the role of government is not to run our lives. He also understood that taxing people to death is not only immoral, but also the reason why economies don't grow.
WHAT? LOL, the most welfare programs have done is give the most minute help possible to the poor. Welfare programs themselves cant feed a single person. Most people on welfare work 2 to 3 jobs on average. Statistical realities time and time again show that people on Welfare look for the easiest possible way to get off of welfare. Since Reagan and later Clinton, welfare has turned into workfare. In order for these people (usually black single mothers) to keep collecting checks they have to agree to a complete loss of freedom and near enslavement in some minimum wage job that can barely pay for milk. Welfare has dont nothing but help some of the most disenfranchised groups. And yet time and again it is attacked by the most racist, elitist groups of wasps who look for ways to get more racist voters on their side by "going hard on crime" or "ending unnecessary spending" (btw, medicaid is a dozen times more wasteful, but nobody is willing to touch that... no, old people vote.)
Welfare encourages people to do things they otherwise wouldn't do. The people in Europe wouldn't be sitting around cafes from dusk till dawn if they knew that they wouldn't be getting another check from the government. People won't work if they see that they are getting just as much money for not working.
The policiticans have combined $99.2 trillion just for unfunded social security and medicare obligations. Add in our national debt and interest payments and you'll see we have a problem.
And once again, playing the race card is not going to work anymore.
What is this fox news info? Nobody in England is going to touch the healthcare. If it does I guarantee you that the people will rise against it. As opposed to the US, Europeans know what belongs to them by right and will rise for it (Im not talking about the likes of racist "Tea Party" morons).
Yea, Europeans know how to obediently obey their government and allow their governments to take away their property, wages, and their rights to carry arms. Europeans also know how to allow totalitarian ideologies such as Fascism and Communism to breed in Europe. While American's distrust their government and rebel the moment our government tries to take away our weapons, Europeans obediently obey when their governments take away their rights. Europe is a nation of sheep.
America is a state where a few can do good for themselves at the cost of everyone else. Where the motto is that if your poor its your own fault, irregardless of background, chance and everything else that decides a persons fate. A country founded on the ideals of greedy ambition, of accumulating as much as possible for yourself. A country of unbridled greed and consumerism. A nation that a 500 years from now will only have giant walmarts to show off its "culture". That is America. 200 years ago one could make it in the US if they were a slave trader. You could buy a nice big house with that money. Today its the very same, just under different terms.
America was founded on the idea that everyone has the freedom to succeed and the freedom to fail. All earnings an individual achieves are his. The government has no right to tread on the liberties of anyone. A nation that has people who succeed and people who fail is a free nation. Whatever success you have in America belongs to you and it is not for the government to take anything away that is yours. That is America.
European nations invented the slave trade. It was not an American invention. Please study your history.
The fact is that unbridled capitalism leads to exploitation, a fact well learned in the first years of the industrial revolution. It should be the job of the state to help its citizens, especially if the state is elected by the citizens, patroled by the citizens and given legitimacy by the citizens. America is a state that both polices its citizens while also saying that it "abstains" from it. The fact is, "hands off" policies in America have done an incredible amount of harm to the American public (im not talking about the few who profited but of the greater whole). They have resulted in deregulated wages, desocialized jobs, longer hours, less pay, fewer vacations, more layoffs... all so a few can make money. At the same time the US government has stepped up efforts to squash any form of action against such a thing by enlisting a massive police force to enforce its rule. It has botn removed all forms of social help but one: police.
Capitalism is freedom. Competition and Adam Smith's invisible hand in the free market allow firms who perform to the benefit of the consumers to succeed. Firms who charge high prices or who don't meet the services expected of them lose to more efficient firms. It is the consumers who are in charge. That is Capitalism.
America's debt is the fault of its right-wing elitist wasps who have spent trillions on foreign wars, not on the spending on social welfare which barely goes past a few billion.
Im sorry, but it would do u good to get off of Fox News and read a little. Just a big, Loic Waquant would be a good start, Jamie Peck The Workfare state. Social Darwinism in European and American thought, The Color of Welfare.
All sociological books that truncate everything piece of Fox News nonsense in your posts.

America's debt began since we decided to turn towards a welfare state. It was progressives who started America's foreign policy of nation-building. Woodrow Wilson said we need to make the world safe for Democracy, Roosevelt wanted to go into WWII, Truman started the fighting in Korea and went to war without the approval of Congress.
LBJ began a welfare policy that bankrupted the nation. I recommend that you lay off the drugs and Bill Maher documentaries.
