The Minimum Income Allocation..Income Base For Just "Being"..

UncleBuck said:

that's all fine and dandy, but that is my point exactly.

did any other president even get a chance to "claim it as their own"? was anyone else ever clamoring about the extra $0.12 at the end of their phone bill and tying it at the waist to stereotypes of "welfare queens"? was anyone saying anything at all, racialized or not?

NOPE!

only once it could be racialized did people latch onto it so viciously, like a small yapping dog grabbing the ankle of an innocent passer by.

and you are up front leading the charge.

do you do it purposely, or do you get duped into these race baiting tactics?

Well i can relate to this topic in a way...

My family consists of father 52, mother 50, brother 29, sister 27, myself 24, sister 21...

My entire family was / is on welfare and eating off goverment and living off ssi from my father(severe epileptic). Been that waysince i knew what the goverment is. So my whole life ive been around this 'poverty' if you will. When i was 14 i started my first job as a busboy making 15$ a night in tips and 5$hour since i didnt belong working legally yet. Then i went from resturant to resturant making more and more. When i turned 16 i bought myself a 2k$ car with money i saved up and ended up blowing the motor on it. Did some research online and pulled the engine out and put junkyard one in myself. From there i did more and more work on random cars and rented a garage and put ads on craigslist. I easily made 1500 a week cash until my girfriend ended up pregnant 2 yrs ago. I sold everything and got a normal job which i work now at $17 hr with paid medical for the first time since 18yrs old(hopefully not cancelled when o-care starts). This medical marijuana card allows me to grow on side and give patients free meds and give excess to dispensary for extra money...

I am not rich at all but im young still and with this thing called AMBITION, i will go to school when the baby starts pre-school. My schooling will be paid for with money saved thanks to mmj and my job will pay for my house and food for family.

Still to this day since i have moved out of my parents i get a call several times a month to help my mom pay her mortgage and bills. It kills me to say no but i now have a family of my own and bills that HAVE to be paid for my family to live...

The problem with today is the goverment makes it so easy to get free everything and when you actually need something like state medical for your child but you dont qualify cause make to much but in real life it pays food and bills only. They tell you if your not working we can provide food,medical and heating/cash assistance. So you have choice to work ass off and bearly make it by and miss out on medical or to not work an get handed a minimum lived life free of charge.

Sorry for the rant but its studies like this that are most likely made up to push people into living off goverment, which i swear the goverment wants ultimately... people need to wake up and stop being LAZY. Alittle ambition and wanting more than to sit home on video games all day will go a very very long way... every person in my family still lives under one roof and will tell you flat out that they have no shot at life because they were raised on goverment aid and bad parenting. THEY'RE UNDER 30yrs old. Its called being LAZY and being handed every escuse under the sun from the gov. To continue this way.

I didnt pay crazy attn in school but i ended up watching discovery channel episodes on the industrial revolution. IMO, its crazy to think of how not too long ago people made nothing into such a huge society. If you put everyone in my generation and newer into those days we would still have no electronics or skyscrapers for buildings because how lazy most people are and lack the will to strive for anything more in life.

One of the things that really set me off was some welfare bitch I know talking about paying someone to come cut her yard.... WTF??! I work every fucking day and I can't afford someone to come cut my grass, you lay around the house drinking and eating pills all day long watching soaps and have someone cutting your yard for you!

I saw that the other day. Switzerland just recently put forward the idea of a "minimum income" of $2800 a month or there abouts. And people wonder why the nordic countries have the best healthcare outcomes, the happiest populations, live longer, and have been relatively far less affected by the recession compared to us.

So you lament the fact that someone is creating jobs?
Or is it that you are upset because you are unable to manage your finances responsibly?

I suppose one could equally complain that irresponsible people such as yourself have jobs.

I imagine your response would be, "you don't know what I...".
And neither do you know what they...
Hence, a Minimum Income would end these ridiculous, emotional arguments since everyone would have an equal base from which to stand.

This cracks me up, you dolts pick a side and futilely try to defend it no matter how stupid it sounds.

Glad to be of service in bringing a little piece of heaven to you.
Now, get back to your wood-ticks before they decide to usurp your control of the business due to your apathy and lack of wit.
