email the NY Times and inform them of their mistake. Lay the smack-down on them, Jhhnn. Do let everyone in here know how that goes.
You mean our economy hasn't changed from a manufacturing economy to a tech economy? And all is lost?
Well let's kick back and see who is wrong about that, Jhhnn...
Did you not know this already? Maybe that's why I yawn when you post in here...or maybe it is due to other factors?
I'm thinking it's due to other factors.
EITC & ACA "subsidies" are both tax-based. They aren't handouts for poverty level citizens, like SNAP is.
And you mention housing subsidies, school lunch grants, and senior programs. Despite these programs people still remain poor.
And according to the NT Times, the lower 50% of national...
You made claims about social programs, like SNAP, not being for poor people. I've shown that people who qualify for programs like SNAP must be at the defined poverty level or below. So you really haven't shown anything repeatedly, despite your insistence otherwise.
And dodge the rest. I...
I won't bother reading your tripe anymore in here. You've proven you're a racist pos, all while futilely trying to accuse me of being a racist by employing a lame, pathetic argument that completely ignores the facts I posted about the term "welfare queen."
You're a moron, an absolute and utter...
I just placed an unhinged P&N member on ignore, a feature I am generally loathe to use, so I already know how to use it, tyvm. If you don't care for pointless bickering you apparently know how to use the ignore function. Engage, number one.
And are you actually arguing that the people on the...
Those programs shouldn't help people in perpetuity. A percentage of people (not "number of people," because the people moving in and out of that percentage change constantly) will never earn enough money to not benefit from them. Is there a subset that will always be in poverty? Yes. Little can...
You mean like the post above, where I put names and faces on the rich that so many on the left have an vast disdain for...until they realize they are the people that ultimately provide jobs for them, so they can earn money to live, buy computers, and bitch on the internet about the rich?
And...
And I don't have a problem with those programs.
btw, "rich" people is a constantly evolving pool. Look at the Forbes 400 list. Look how much of that is new money, new rich, and not the trust-fund babies of old money that so many whine about in here. Many of them have been and are people that...
I'm pretty sure, at least for SNAP, that anyone earning over 130% gross and 100% net poverty level income does not qualify, with a few exceptions for the elderly. So I'd say that is pretty limited to the poor and has no direct impact on the middle class. With few exceptions, it's not much...
Erm, OK. You've been all over the place in this thread and this is yet another example of that. This thread isn't about the middle class. Feel free to start another if you want to discuss that issue.
And what do you believe the real sickness is? The powerful rich screwing everyone over? If those powerful rich are such a big problem, how is it that some can rise out of poverty? After all, shouldn't their fate be sealed by those rich bastards so they can never get their share? btw, as I've...
Yes, only one side is the sticking point to curing the issue. THAT sort of thinking is the real problem. It's the real sickness that pervades politics today
Both sides are such assholes. Both sides do do it. Ignore that all you want, but each points at the other as the problem.
Both sides are...
The problem is that it's nowhere near 99.99% effective. If it were, I wouldn't complain. As the link to welfare fraud shows, it's probably closer to 20%, or higher (I'm lowballing so as not to appear anywhere unrealistic).
What percentage of fraud is acceptable to you?
I haven't claimed that I can identify the alts in this place. But no doubt you're some kind of pattern recognition ninja who picks up on writing styles so very quickly. Does this alleged ninja ability allow you to determine who the alts are in here, because they surely exist?
Of course you...
Clearly you're nothing more than a mean, angry little bitch.
You have won the glorious position of being the sole person I now have on ignore. Congrats. You're welcome.
I misspoke. I am not a "social" conservative, I am a "fiscal" conservative. My apologies. Mistakes happen when there are so many trying to pile on at once, as is so often the case in here.
Then again, I am not a social liberal either. More likely I would be described as somewhere in-between...
Most of us work for a living. You might be surprised to learn, when you're not slinging insults to and fro, that's partially what this thread is actually about.
I saw some review complaints about the keyboard prior to purchase, mostly that the keyboard was too squished or didn't use all of the available real-estate. I don[t find that to be the case at all. The keys feel like they are where they're supposed to be. If they were spread out further to the...
Holy cow! You actually attempted to say something meaningful and with content instead of your usual post&run snark. Congrats.
imo, the alarming part is the percentage of users who claim to have cheated because it indicates that fraud is likely far higher than net estimates would indicate.
So liberals are god-fearing, NRA members, who are anti-gay marriage and pro-life?What bizarre world did you wake up in today?
btw, I don't deny social services to those who really need them. Unfortunately, the system is abused, significantly, as if practically every social aid system around the...
So you've been here only since 2014 but know all about alts, and the style of posters in here?
If I was a lefty I'd question wwybygb?
But I'm not, so I won't. Paranoia is a dangerous thing. The left hasn't figured that out yet.
Welfare queens come in every color, but dolts like you have to make this about race instead of a system being abused, because you want to turn a blind eye to those abuses that have nothing whatsoever to do with race.
Stop playing the race card dipshit. It only serves to make you look like...
Conservative White Nationalists agree you're a racist POS?
If so, that might be the first thing that I would ever agree with Conservative White Nationalists.
Erm, I'm saying that penises are evolved from clits, which is pretty much accepted in evolutionary circles, unless you want to deny science. Do you want to deny science?
And I'd bet I've encountered far, far more clits than you have over the years. But imagine yourself as some sort of expert on...
Your previous post is already history in here.Allow me to repost it:
Not only do you put a slam on Vietnamese, you make a comment about Whitey as well.
Damn. You doubled down. Racist...POS. Try to worm your way out. It's all there for everyone to see.
Racist POS!
Are you stupid? I already stated that the penis is an evolved clitoris. The clit came first; it's pre-evolutionary.
Once again you prove your ignorance by lashing out without thinking. Congrats.
Science!
