Why is there still a war on poverty, when all indicators have shown

[KensanIV]

Please let us face one absolute fact.  The real purpose behind having so many poor people (or qualified people) getting some sort of government welfare benefits is one blaring truth.

As long as they are getting fed by the master, they will continue to support and vote for the master. In other words, the real reason is the Dims wish to stay in power and this is one way that assures their slaves to continue to support the party.

And of course, people being people, if the R's do get the power, they intend to cut some of these freeloaders off the welfare list. and they will of course be the devils who ruined their lives.  They do not understand that our government is borrowing the money to pass out these freebies... and will someday have to be paid back by someone.

If we have such a wonderful employment and job abundance as indicated by our board libs... Some of these free loaders may get off their collective asses and find one of these jobs.  Whoooopppppiiiiieeeeee!!!

no the real reason to have people qualified for "welfare" is because they need to to survive.

[dont-blameme]

You know Ken if the job market and economy was as great as the liberals claim it is since Obama was selected then people wouldn't have to qualify for government handouts, they would be supporting themselves and their families.
 
First liberals claim there have been millions of jobs created by Obama and the economy is doing great.
 
Then in the next breath liberals tell us that people have to qualify for welfare and food stamps in order to survive.

Lots of people work full time and still qualify for food stamps   That's the shame of it.

kenyan almost never wastes any chance to prove how brainwashed and gullible, and racist, he is.  he refuses to think for himself, even if he had the IQ to do it.  but the rest of you with some active brain cells- THINK ABOUT HOW LUDICROUS THIS THEORY IS.....black people make up a small percentage of voters in this country, on a state by state basis.  actually, in the states with the highest black voting blocs, republicans have carried those states in the federal elections and in most state and local elections!!  and how many people, not just blacks but everybody, living in government assisted housing and receiving as much government aid as possible ACTUALLY VOTE?  maybe a fifth?  and they only make up a tiny percentage of the overall black or white vote!!  so you are not using your head, you are repeating bullshit.  the people that collect the most welfare make up a tiny percentage of voters- WHY WOULD ANYBODY PANDER TO SUCH A TINY VOTING BLOC?

The result of a lax and open policies with little checkups on the Govt part, not because the NEED them.Wrought with fraud.

And yet daily the turd nitwad brags on what a great job Obama has done for the economy. A GD Joke from a fool troll with no real values or stand of his own.

Loser, The trouble with your magic numbers is that black people only make up about 13% of our total population and a large percentage of those are in jail and not taking welfare, or in the military.


You didn't post it, but if this country has about 320 million citizens, approximately 37 million are black.

The other truism is that liberals are lazy.  Just this week we had an election locally.  It wasn't exciting, a primary election where we nominated state judges etc and local city officials etc.

14% of the registered D's  turned out to vote... It was a beautiful day, sunny and about 75 degrees, so they couldn't blame the weather.

Full time jobs:  Another stupid decision by our POTUS... Full time is 30 hours per week...Even if you make the new wage concept of $15.00 per hour, that is still about poverty level of 22 thou per year.

I can see fast food joints where they want the new wage going to table top computers to eliminate the wait staff, and just have someone deliver the food from the kitchen and clean off the table.  Thus putting more part time (or full time if you like Obama's idea) looking for another job.

27% of the registered R's turned out to vote.

Both numbers are abominable, but it should show you that there is no interest from most liberals unless they get an opportunity to vote for an Obama sort.

Hillary can't get the liberal voters as excited as Obama did.  lol!!!
