What three places?


It's not that hard to figure out as most people find what they're they're looking for in the real world.

Some people find love where they work, or at school, maybe at a gathering of friends; my daughter met her Mr. Right at the Supermarket.

its as expansive of the egos of all those 'did it all myself' egotists,,,




Egotist, you mean the victims that pay for the entitlements.


no, I mean egotists, the taxpayers I know don't whine about the existence of welfare,,,,


Because they hadn't thought of how much it costs them; when you point out how much they'd be able to keep without the Welfare Slaves depending on their labor, they'll think differently; unless they're Politicos out enslaving the poor.

lol, and I live here NOW,,,,the system does not go EVERYWHERE

and you are gonna show up with cleaning supplies for a house that you carried by BUS?

smh


not everyone can work in a casino, and very few 'churches' hire

plenty of people who want to work are unemployed in vegas,,,,

and many of the 'jobs' that people assume hire anybody( although that is a myth too,, employers want people who want THAT job, not people who just want ANY job)

still don't pay enough for them to be out of poverty or for them to not need assistance

not to mention they usually have 'flexible' schedules that most single parents with SMALL CHILDREN wont be able to meet,,,kids need routine and stability,,,


There you go making excuses for those who live off of Welfare=Slavery; there is work out there waiting for those who will take it.
I cleaned houses, my son use to detail cars; there is a lot of things that people can do if they just look for it to make honest money.

its hard to become 'dependent' on something that lasts 3-5 years of lifetime

its like telling mothers not to let babies use a pacifier because as they grow they will STILL depend on it

its not gonna happen

and its not designed as a 'lift' , we have pulled off the myth of meritocracy allegedly responsible for 'lift'

its merely about helping people GET THROUGH,,,


Only 3 to 5 years? I know people on Welfare who will only work as much as they have to to stay on Welfare, and turn down better jobs because they'd lose their benefits; in some states, with all the benefits, (Section 8 Housing, FoodStamps, "Help" with utilities, Cash Payments) they make as much as a $50K to $70K by not moving up in payroll.
My daughter went to school with one girl who got pregnant at 13 just so that her mother would be able to buy a new car from the increased benefits.
Welfare=Slavery.


how does your daughter know the reason the girl got pregnant,, ? sounds like an irresponsible child,,,which isn't specific to impoverished parents,,


, and I heard of some people who robbed a bank, but that's really not a reason to shut the banks down

and I heard that having some people perform mass shootings is no reason to regulate guns

looking at the 'charts' and information provided in this thread . less than 1 in 5 people are receiving the kind of 'welfare' people complain about (some don't consider social security or medicare in their welfare , government handout philosophy) for more than 5 years

and federal guidelines set a limit of 3-5 years PER LIFETIME,

your story and experience is like that anomaly of a bank robbery and not the rule, its a CRIME and not the standard and not a reason to lump everyone in the same fraudulent boat of the minority we hear stories about,,,




3-5yrs while Unemployed; as long as you get some nothing job that doesn't pay over a curtain amount, you can stay on Welfare=Slavery for life.

Hydrocarbon-Cocktails still work wonders against those things!
And so do several other Devices!


yea, well... are they needed on our streets?


The Government is far too large, too powerful, and too expensive; one needs to take a chainsaw to the size, power and scope of the Federal Government a few times over.
Better to take too much power away from the Government, and fix it later, then to not cut enough.

lol, yeah, because no danger came to them doesn't mean the weren't in danger

like I Said, having a child who just started school, and needs me available to get them to school, leaving about five hours that they are supervised by others, and not being in a position to work somewhere where my child was free to 'wait for me' and not having a crystal ball to know that the FATHER would decide not to provide any of his share of support for HIS child

I used a different option

I expect my kids not to suffer danger or starvation because I hit hard time for a couple of my FORTY SOME years on this earth,

I Expect to provide (through taxes) for others to be confident their kids wont either



To take from one by force to provide for another is a form of theft on the population; taking food out of the mouths of my children only to feed another is wrong.
Government to take from one to enslave another is a form of tyranny.

sidenote: I don't understand why any married person, person with spousal support or child support or any SINGLE person would need welfare


never, while I was married, or when I only had MYSELF to look after would I have needed assistance either,,,


only when someone else unable to look after themselves depended upon me for food, for shelter, for nurturing and companionship,

when someone elses needs put boundaries on my schedule
when someone elses impressionability was impacted by my choices and my example,,,

did assistance become a blessing that was available to help US through,,,when no other resource (spouse, income) was available to do so,,




And if this system weren't in place.... what do you draw on?




I suppose crime would be the next thing, as I don't plan to allow my children to starve or be without SAFE shelter,,,


Of course you wouldn't look to live an honest life by doing what you can to provide; why not look for work cleaning houses or something else?
My Son detailed cars when he started trade school; now he's working for a company that will cover school, pay him $11hr as he slaves for those who are certified, and when he graduates will have his pay capped at $17hr for 3yrs for the investment they put into his education; or he could pay the company a prorated amount based on how long he worked for them.
My Husband and I didn't raise any slaves.

my claim is not that poverty is the wrath of God, that is the verbiage of the person whose blog is included in the OP

my claim is that people think popverty is a type of 'wrath' (retributory punishment for an offense or a crime ) for the crime of not earning enough or having enough saved for unexpected situations like sickness, lay offs, cutbacks, etc, etc, etc,,, to not EVER need to rely on the assistance of anyone but the self,,


If I had lost everything I own today, I would start cleaning houses tomorrow, or I'd do some landscaping, or something else; I will not become a slave to the government by taking Welfare.

do you disagree with,,,?

1. do you not believe who we ARE is different than who we WERE?
2. do you not believe the economic dynamic of the family has changed with the growth of two income families and the shame on parents who don't work (at a paid job anyway)?
3. do you not believe many have the mindset that poverty is a sort of 'wrath' deserved by those who struggle in it?
4. and finally, do you not agree that we need to focus more on who we COULD be (instead of the fantasy of some ideal that some believe we once were,,,?)





1) John Locke stated that Mankind is corrupt; (2nd Treaties on Civil Government) those who follow his teachings are far better off, with fewer nightmares than those who follow Jean Rousseau (Social Contract) who believed that Mankind is good.
2)The Economic Dynamic changed by doing away with the Gold Standard because the Government wanted to spend money; Inflation under the Gold Standard was 0.5% at its highest, now we are glad when it's only 2 - 3%.
3) I don't know anyone who says that poverty is "The Wrath of God" as you make a straw-man argument; who claims it to be so?
4) See my #1 answer as it's the same point.

Sarah Palin was a prophet on what Russia was going to do back when she was running for Vice President; everyone merely laughed it off at the time, but she saw it coming.

Summer with you prophecy. I wonder where you got it and it at all "prophecies exists, how they came into being and who really prophets are." You're so amusing :)


Are you saying that Palin was wrong back in '08 when she said it on 10/22/08?

Here is her statement in context; seems that she was spot on.

They will simply call it a Sipper Rifle before they come for it.


Doesn't matter what they call it, don't have to give it up. And like the people in Connecticut if you don't register it, they don't know where to find it.

But also like Connecticut, it is high time they are held accountable for their actions. Posting just who they are is a start but not the conclusion. Now they need to take action, start filing lawsuits for fraud, a marvelously remarkable little dilemma.


Some times being a patriot is to support your government, other times it's to bring it down; peacefully if possible, but when every petition fails, then by force.
This is the reason for the 2nd Amendment.

Who has taken our country? As a result of advertising creating needs that are imagined, we Americans spend more than we earn. Because of the money in politics today, we elect people who have little connection with Main Street or the next-door neighbor, we elect people to Washington who make laws that create millionaires with dependencies on Washington�s largesse and make laws that benefit Wall Street and the 1 percent. Laws that benefit the middle class and the working classes are subjugated to the wants and wishes of corporations and their lobbyists. We want to take our country back so that anyone who wants an assault weapon can have it even though more young and old Americans will be being murdered.

Exactly to what do we want to go back? We remember who we were and how life was a couple of generations ago. But what we can�t seem to get our minds around is who we were is not who we are. We are a nation of two-salary families, a nation of plutocrats and leaders whose selfish policies protect a privileged few, and a religious nation that idolizes lucre and claims that poverty is the wrath of an angry God. Instead of taking our country back, let�s take it forward to a future where the hungry are fed, the sick are healed, and the values of our faith are honored regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, politics, or the size of one�s bank account. Rather than focusing on who we were, let�s plan on who we will be.

As one who started off dirt poor, having had to live with relatives down in Mexico who didn't even have electricity or running water (Bet no one here can even imagine such a life) until I was old enough, and had the money to return on my own; I take offence that because I was willing to work as many as three jobs at a time, only drive used cars, do without, ate by means of a rifle and a fishing pole much of the time, save my money and invest in things that goes up in value, that I'm greedy and/or selfish because I object to have others live off my labor by picking my pocket and take food out of the mouths of my family.

In this country, even the poorest are among the Top 10% in wealth worldwide; and the Government does it by taking from those who earned it, to enslave those that didn't.

With all due respect, Miss Harmony has the same mindset as which led to the French Revolution, the Bolsheviks Revolution, the Holodomor the Holocaust, The Great Leap Forward, and other nightmares the world over.

Hunger teaches the lazy to work.
Like a door on its hinges, is the lazy on his bed.
A Fool eats all that he has, the wise have warehouses of oil and grain.
Plow deep as sluggards sleep, you'll have grain to sell and keep.

Did the guy not think that the old man, was confused for a reason? Or does logic and common sense not play a part in real life anymore? That guy should be charged with murder? Plain and simple, he shot an old man in cold blood! Shooting someone once is enough? Four times though? That's an execution, from a trigger happy ex-soldier, that's what that is and there's no excuse for that!


Police are trained to keep on shooting "UNTIL" the suspect is down; even after being shot a number of times, someone can still be a threat.
Police Officers have been killed by people they've shot a number of times which is the reason why Police stopped using revolvers and now use Semi-Automatic Pistols that may hold as many as 19 Rounds with one in the chamber.




police also carry tasers to take people 'down', because shooting isn't the only option

and I think there are plenty of trigger happy police officers who shouldn't be on the streets with guns too,,,


I'm sure that there are trigger happy police officers as well; mostly in states and/or cities that have rather strict gun laws; Police are trained to reach for their gun first, then, if appropriate for a "Less Lethal" Option.
It takes training to go for the taser, or another weapon as one is dealing with the OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act; back to Observe) during a crisis; and you will always fall back onto the level of training that you've mastered during a crisis.

As a matter of principle, I won't go into debt on anything; by working, saving, and doing without, my husband and I were able to put 100% down on a nice small farm house, originally built in the '20's, with land in just under Five Years.

We won't go into debt for any reason as you pay more for what you're buying; we save until we have enough to buy outright.


and, thus by being married, you avoided the dating scam which was the topic?


Going into debt is dumb; better to save up and pay cash for everything.

Even for a house, it doesn't take that long to buy one outright if you work extra jobs, do without and put your money into the bank; better to pay for it in full in five years than work 20+ years paying it off.

Superintendent faces parents after news of his $663,365 salary becomes public. It'��s ugly. (Video)

Unions and liberals. Corruption in our schools

Not enough money to educate the kids but then.....

And speaking of educating kids, has your community been bribed into common core? After a common core education, his salary would probably double.


What would happen if Government had to live under a balanced budget, and anything more than what came in through taxes had to come out of the pockets of the elected officials? Just asking.
