1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.
2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.
3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.
4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.
5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.
6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.
These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment:
1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.
Funny how that works. And here's another one worth considering…
2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money! What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't.
Think about it....and Last but not least :
3. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens.
Am I the only one missing something?
I love the one that you want us to be like other countries. Absolutely mind boggling.

I have a new question that might be of interest. How much do you think a millionaire in California should pay as the percentage of his income in federal taxes? Y’all dance around such questions, but never just say a doggone straight answer.
How can discussions be entertaining between all of us if no one ever commits to anything. Ask me a question.

Economy?
Everyone get ready for an adult Post by wild grass, who seems to make light of farmers,
and of developers, who are given subsidies to build houses for illegal aliens who cannot speak English. They will not give us a big picture when they post to us. They throw crap out there and make us type like I’m typing right now. I am going to get a beer.
Oh , one more thing. If someone gets wealthy building in America, how does that square with your line of thinking. I think that is a very nice cordial way to ask this question. . Are you saying you do not want people that get subsidies to get subsidies, because it makes them wealthy?
You do not have the wherewithal to answer this question you are all so conflicted. It is unbelievable.

@AverageJoe1 saidA subsidy is government financial aid. I do not agree with providing subsidies to those who already have the wealth needed to support their own families.

There's a fairly discrete list of ways to make a billion dollars in America. And I can tell you none of them have anything to do with free market capitalism.

So, if 10 farmers up and down the road in Iowa, on the same subsidies, you say one farmer has enough to take care of his family. ….that, you should not receive a subsidy..
Be educated, little felly. Maybe a little philosophy.
The subsidy isn’t about how rich or poor each farmer is. It’s about helping all farmers deal with the same costs and risks. If they all do the same work and face the same problems, they’re treated the same.”
If we started this deciding on who we think has enough” ( Go Bernie Sanders!), then someone has to judge that and it stops being fairand simple

Evening the playing field, eh. Except gov'ts helping the wealthy ones more, and in financially supporting the business models that don't work i.e. the farmers who aren't making money.
You sound like a socialist. Isn't that what crop insurance is for? Taxpayers pay for that, too.

shore him up with govt money, but give nothing to the successful who flood our markets with produce?! Screw them, do not reward success!!
You are the worst of socialism. Hey, did you see last week , the marauder person called capitalism a failure.
It has apparently failed you two. Do you find yourself looking over the fence a lot.?
Remember, socialism is for the people, not for the socialists. As a socialist, I will prob have more access to stuff than I do now!
Helping the wealthy ones more!! Jesus
@AverageJoe1 saidSo out of some 350 million folks here, you are saying 175 million are actually the working stock of the US and we would not even MISS the other 175 million if they were all to be say deported by ICE and that would make you SO HAPPY you would be creaming in your jeans. Kiss my ass you POS.
