They see it as the best way to reduce poverty. And who is going to pay for this?

It's simple. Poor people will get free money, and rich people will pay for it. And when the rich people are poor, they'll get free money, and . . .

Help me out -- there seems to be a flaw in this plan.

And the answer is - the printing press, that magical piece of machinery
that turns paper money into waste paper.

I'm with you guys on this... no crap... I honestly am. We do need to end this ...

But we also need to end the give aways to Corporations..... no more sugar subsidies, no more bailing out insurance companies that hit hard times...... no more buying corn to make ethanol...

know what I'm saying ?.... we need to whine just as hard about the rich wanting a freebee as we do about the poor wanting one ..... know what I'm saying ?

Democrats = socialism/communism = this BS

We already feed the "poor" to breed and add to the problem (all for the dem votes). Get rid of welfare and these folks will have to start working, stop breeding as much, not have the time to commit crimes 24/7 and possibly by some stretch of the imagination be an asset to society one day.

It's easy to raise money in Chicago. Just raise the fuel, sales, and property taxes again. One or two more tax increases and I might qualify for some of those "free" benefits.

At least it will give the muggers a steady source of income.
