Jul 31 - Photo of boy in public housing with an iPad prompts debate over what the poor should have

[pic][pic][pic]

i really dont understand how people can't understand that the money spent on government aid is peanuts compared to what the government spends on the things mentioned above

it seems like it is a bully complex on the poor because they are to scared to f!ght the big wigs

[pic] so much nonsense in here, and if you believe gov benefits are more than a avg middle cla#s job, then you're an idiot.

Nothing "Right Wing" about me. If you've seen me post in this section before you know I'm extremely liberal in my views on most things.

I just don't believe in people abusing the system. Sick and tired of walking out of my crib and having somebody walk up to me with their EBT card trying to sell it to me for the low so they can go buy some bull!!.

Sick of seeing people on welfare but their baby got every single pair of Jordans.

Like I said in an earlier post. I work for a bank, we see how people live first hand. Sick of seeing people getting Unemployment checks and the next transaction on their account is a trip to the sneaker store to cop a $250 pair of Foamposites.

Let's stop pretending like this is some racial thing and not about people being fed up with lazy people abusing the system all the time.

When you factor in the fact that they get free food, free medical care, free clothes, free education for their children and most people on welfare spawn like !!in rabbits, you are damned right that comes out to more than what an average middle cla#s person makes because they have no deficit. 90% of my middle cla#s income goes towards paying for me to have all the things these people get for free. They get their food for free. I pay 200$ a week. They pay no rent. My mortgage is $800 a month. They get to send their kids to head start for free. I'd pay hundreds of dollars a month for it. When its time to go to real school again their kids go for free while I have to pay ridiculously high school taxes, Heath Insurance costs thousands a year and I still have a $20 co-pay and a $800 deductible, they go for free and get their meds for free. That's not to mention the 70 grand in student loans I'm paying back while they get grants and[..]istance out the[..]. He's not an idiot, you are delusional and have no idea how much it costs to live when you're not taking a free ride.

no one is saying abuse is a good thing, but if we are gonna get real with this stuff then lets do that, and lets start with the real problems. The corporate welfare, which is 1000x more draining and hurtful to our economy. And unemployment is yours, its not welfare, you can do w/e the !! you want with it. if thats buying Jordans, than thats your prerogative.

Okay so when the unemployment runs its course and niccas aint saved nothing because they were too caught up in buying nonsense, what do you think the next step is? It's government[..]istance. Thats how they get caught up in the cycle, that we all have to pay for..

Its more about mentality that has to shift among poor people. Poor people make bad financial decision (mostly while trying to keep up with the Joneses) and when somebody says something about it, now its made out to be that "nobody wants poor people to have anything", when that's not the case.

Duck tales.

What kind of house and where is it that your mortgage is only $800? You must live in the middle of nowhere or have a shack.

News flash you already pay high school taxes, that doesn't just start when you have kids of age.

You a fool if you don't think poor people have to get student loans for college, grants come with grades.

You should get a better job, your insurance plan sucks.

You pay $800 a month for food? You must be a fat boy, try Costco. Welfare don't even give out $800 a month in food stamps.

You think welfare is better than your minimum wage bank attendant job, sucks to be you, I see why you mad.

you work at a bank
so are you just as feed up with the banking system and their practices
who abused the system more than wall street
you might as well say you are just feed up with america
cooperations with their tax breaks that already makes hundreds of millions that outsource their jobs to foreign companies so they dont have to pay the min. wage but still profit off the american consumer
abuse the system the system was built on abuse
once again dont hate the player hate the game [pic]

But you aren't sick of millionaires hiding billions of money tax free over seas while taking advantage of the fair share of taxes you pay?

Trust me. I'm disgusted by A LOT of the practices that I have to comply with at work. There's a lot of sneaky stuff that goes on, but that's another story for another day.




Never said I thought that I think it's fair when rich people play the system. Wrong is wrong. When somebody makes a thread about that, I'd be happy to contribute to that too..

I think wrong is wrong. Whether it be rich or poor. Just because somebody is rich, it doesn't make their wrong better or worse than those of a poor person.

Now see this where we have a fundamental disagreement,when rich people play the system its worse, cause they don't just get a few hundred bucks they don't need/qualify for. They get MILLIONS of dollars they don't need/qualify for, they then take small portions of their money to purchase politicians. They buy these guys and I can't even pretend to be surprised, because the amount of money they spend seems like a lot, but in the grand scheme of things its a chump change, cause the returns they get from the politicians are enormous, in the way of tax cuts etc. and just outta curiosity what bank do you work @?

so basically you just hate america.................[pic]

if im guessing man he works b.o.a.
