Do you know who is getting a tax cut?

Dead beats, you mean the poor. I guess when I was a child I was a dead beat because I grew up in a housing projects in the South Bronx NYC. Before welfare the poor starved to death or were exploited for money. People don't choose to be poor because it is a miserable existence. Even with the help of the government as a child I would not eat for three fuking days sometimes, do you know how painful hunger is and you call poor people dead beats. I am happy to pay taxes for people to be able to eat. I would rather pay taxes for food and shelter for those not as fortunate then a bridge to nowhere or to satisfy some lobbyist wet dream. There's many thousands of things we waste money on and when you find a way to stop wasting money on crap that means nothing to no one. Then you can talk about starving poor people to death so you can kill off all the dead beats. Wheres a mother of 4 babies abandoned by her husband going to work or how can she leave the house even. When you have lived it you know why people on welfare need help because they need food for their very survival and have no choice. Its humiliating going to the store and paying with food stamps. I am proud to say that I was one of those poor dead beats your talking about. I can tell you stories about poverty in America that will make you so sick you won't eat for a week. We pay 243 billion dollars a year for welfare and medicaid to help millions of poor people and I am dam proud we do. People/families are the most important thing in this world/country, more important then all the other crap you mentioned. The poor are not lazy, they would work if there was a job for them. Some people are ugly or fat or not able to work for psychiatric reasons or health reasons. I know a women that has not worked in 3 years and she has a degree and was a 5 figure person for 20 years and she now lives on her mothers couch and her furniture is in storage in which I help pay the bill because I don't want her to lose all her stuff. Wheres the job for her? She doesn't get welfare her mother shares her Social Security check with her. Do you know how humiliating that is? People that are not good looking or to old or have what ever imperfection have a really hard time getting a job. What would you do let them starve to death because you don't want to pay $1000 dollars more a year more in taxes. Being poor is a horror in ways you would not ever understand because if you did you would not say such stupid things.

NO! When I use the term "dead beats", I most decidedly do NOT refer to the poor. I refer to the lazy, the person who spends everything he has on nothing things, the person who never plans a single thing in his life to do better for himself, the person who WON'T work because he knows the government will steal from taxpayers to support him. I am talking about deadbeats who scam the system (and there are millions of them) and I KNOW it because I've worked amongst them. I cannot tell you how many on welfare drink, do drugs, prostitute, steal, abuse children, scam people. THOSE are the ones YOU are actually predominantly supporting - and those are the ones about which I am talking when I say "deadbeats".

You don't hang ME disparaging the poor. I qualify as poor today, I grew up poor. My parents were poor. My parents worked like dogs. They had NO "treats" EVER. They would have died of starvation before they would have taken what was once called charity. They never had anything and they never cost anyone else a single dime. They never committed a crime, never did drugs, never drank, never went to a shelter - but they worked harder than anyone you ever met in the projects because they felt they HAD to. I have tremendous respect for them and I have tremendous contempt for DEADBEATS. Deadbeats are not the people with temporary needs who deserve some help. Deadbeats prevent the honest poor from having MORE. THAT'S the conservative take on welfare and its values.

You don't preach to me like you are some saint and I am a horrible person, without getting an earful. If you want to continue this defense of deadbeats, go right ahead. You are the type who enables deadbeats because you cannot see any person on welfare as a deadbeat, and you internalize facts rather than see them as facts and you get defensive when there should be no need to. Democrats do not have the capability of using logic and separating the wheat from the chaffe. NOT EVERYONE ON WELFARE IS POOR BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION. Nor is everyone on welfare poor because of circumstances beyond his control. MANY, MANY are on welfare because they do not make wise choices, because of their chosen lifestyles, because of never thinking of unintended consequences. I'm tired of their living quite well BECAUSE of those things. They need to develop those skills so they don't need welfare. That's another conservative piece of philosophy.
