Better question is why should anyone take you seriously?
Why do people insist on feeding trolls?
As usual, non of the dems came with anything. Just name calling. Predictable

Ironic much? You are the king of name calling and you say much harsher **** than anything else in this thread
You said 4%. It was in the 4.5 range in 07. Don't generalize.
The trick is to work at something you like.
Do you really believe this stuff, gun to your head?
I sure to hell hope so. Otherwise I'm fighting this damn traffic for nothing.
he believes whatever fits his argument, that's all he cares about

91% of people on welfare have a job.
You're just an idiot. Have a nice day.
They do? That's news to me...got a link?
Whaaaat?? Don't you know that asking someone to back up their facts is frowned upon in this establishment?

Did you get on welfare yet
No I don't need it. I'm an accountant and Obama raising taxes on the middle cl**** is good for my business
Well I hope you can make as much as those on welfare

Define "pay" and "work".
Not working sucks way more. And stealing from other people(any welfare) should be illegal. So you get my views there pretty easily.
Sorry, didn't see you asked
Latest data analyzed say 91% of welfare goes to elderly, disabled or working households. Not exactly mooches
http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3677#_ftn2
the other 9% goes to farmers.....
What are they defining as welfare? Additionally, disability is expanding to include things it shouldn't.
Quit dancing around it. This isn't a mooch society like most extreme conservatives believe. Are we moving the wrong direction? I think so. But to state it isn't worth it to work anymore and everyone gets a free meal is absurd.
Baby boomer SS is expensive.
Not saying PBS isn't being goofy, but to ignore that we are living in a dependent society is naive.
I just posted hard numbers that crushes that myth. Are you so firm in your bias that no amount of proof will change your view?
9% of entitlement spending goes to the unemployed. 9%.
If you mean dependent upon consumption....I agree.
It's not a myth. Simply because people that are working are taking food stamps doesn't mean we aren't dependent. People are more spoiled and entitled than at any time in our history. To make my point though, we'd have to do research that would piss people off. How many people receiving aid have cable? Cell phones? Internet? Car payments? Designer or first hand clothes? What kind of food is in their home? The mentality is more subtle than the study you cite accounts for. If we remove those things that 15 years ago would have been considered luxuries, would they still 'need' ****istance?
No. I mean dependent on others to maintain a lifestyle that wouldn't be affordable otherwise.
Show me numbers and I'll believe you. Until then, making general claims regarding our society will not sway me.
We all are in some way.
My claims aren't general, they are based on 15 years of working with the population we are talking about. I understand your hesitance though, but numbers really can say whatever we want them to.
Well, do you have access to any numbers that refute his?
Certainly. Taking the fruits of others' labor to enhance our QOL though should be done far more sparingly.
I disagree...it is how our economy currently functions.
If you are for equal compensation for all labor, we can talk...
When true welfare spending is such a tiny percentage of the entitlement budget, I find it petty to get so upset about. What we should be up in arms about is the fact that we didn't prepare well for the baby boomer SS influx and increasing a Medicare program that we had no way of paying for. Spending a few billion on the poor every year is chump change
High unemployment and low growth aren't functioning. We are reaching a point where it's going to collapse if we don't change what we are doing.
Skilled paid the same as unskilled?
I'm with you on SS, Medicare, etc. I've even outlined plans on here to arrest the expansion. Sadly, nobody really wants to tackle entitlements of any kind--instead we want to expand them. Look at the last election cycle. People wanted to expand entitlements to birth control. When it was opposed those opposing were vilified for hating women.
I think he's talking about price controls. FDR showed us the error of that.
I agree with most of this, which is why I scratch my head when people point and scream at the food stamp crowd. They aren't the ones sucking the life out of the economy.
That depends upon the amount of labor involved becoming skilled, I guess. Not he way I would approach it if moving to that system from corporate capitalism, though.
Would be how I would do it if we are talking from a clean slate.
Ahh...I'm late to the party.
Little incentive for one to become skilled if it all paid the same (all other factors being equal).
