I'm sick of people saying "at least you have a job" when there are lots of families sitting on their asses collecting welfare and food stamps while living in government subsidized housing nicer and cheaper than my crappy townhouse while I stress over paying my bills every month. Where exactly is my incentive to work and continue contributing to this?
Well speaking for myself, I'm glad I have a job. Maybe it's different where you live but I don't think welfare here is all that great. It might be enough for some to squeek by but I don't know anybody who's tempted to quit their jobs for it.
Keep in mind Romney wasn't just speaking about those on welfare either. If you didn't pay federal taxes he was including you with the welfare people.
And rightly so.
AGAIN: Beyond empty posturing, what exactly is incorrect about Romney saying roughly half the country receives benefits without paying taxes, or receives far more benefits than they pay for?
What is innaccurate in Romney's remark?
It's a bullshit issue that liberals toss out there, to cover for the fact that the nation --and our foreign embassies-- are burning, while Obama does fundraisers in las Vegas, cavorts with Beyonce, Jay Z, and "Pimp with a limp", and David Letterman, and sits on the couch as "decoration" with his wife on The View. While ignoring Benjamin Netanyahu and other world leaders at the U.N. headquarters and Washington, who would like to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
The 16 trillion-plus debt, the unsecured embassies and the pro-islamic-radicalism plicies that led to it, the high employment (that beyond manipulated statisitcs is way above 8.3%), Obama's plan to be "more flexible" the Russians regarding scrapping our nuclear weapons after the election, Obama's war against the coal industry and fossil-feul that is slashing thousands of jobs when we desperately need them, Obama's "Fast and Furious" operation that was orchestrated by Obama's own justice department to smear the gun industry and a U.S. border guard killed, along with scores of other dead Americans and Mexicans, that Obamaa's cronies are still covering up... ALL are far more important issues than variations of the word choice of how Romney stated something that is
absolute truth.
Partisan liberal slander and re-direction doesn't change these basic facts.
