I'd suggest you get some help reading my post...maybe the whole thread. I'm not blaming the poor for being poor, genius. My post is that government doesn't do anything to help the poor to get out of that situation.
Holy eff, can't people read anymore? Satire is dead, long live ignorance!

You are correct after reading other posts on how many had misconstrued the point you were trying to make i went ahead and took my fustrations out on you and for my ignorant ramblings i apologize! I get so frustrated seeing as how many people choose to put sole blame on those people who are in the rut of poverty without considering that the blame game is here to divide the masses and cause descent amungst the population! Once again i am sorry for taking out my fustrations on yourself whom was just trying to put the blame where it belongs squarely on the elected representatives and the crony capitalists! We need to unite under the common good without selfish agendas before we take down the environment, waste the reserves of energy and kill each other off over some wealthy elitists plan for world domination! Keep fighting the good fight!edit on 31-7-2012 by nosacrificenofreedom because: Correction

Not a supporter of Obama but....I find it sad honestly that someone took the time to do something like this. It's like the Qaddafi at the UN thing. If you only listen to the parts they want you to it does seem kind of silly. If on the other hand you actually listen/read to the whole speech and not just what was played on the news...tends to make more sense....just saying. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Know what I mean? God what happened to ATS. I still remember the days when there was actual news, documents and real stuff not just people's feelings and rants.edit on 31-7-2012 by infiniteobserver because: (no reason given)

He should. Without his employees, he probably would have given up having to do it all alone.
Sorry but appeasing to emotion and sarcasm won't work here. Your bro wasn't alone. And if he didn't need any help, he wouldn't have hired Barry in the first place. He should thank his employee for being there.
A good manager is just that. A good manager. If he's # at communicating people, he did not become a good manager all alone. His assistant who was good at communicating helped him.edit on 30-7-2012 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)

America spends hundreds of billions of dollars a year keeping people on welfare. That's not propaganda, that's disgusting.
And I'm not a conservative.

Oh I see, and I guess feeding people is detrimental to those people because it makes them
dependent on food.
I am glad you are an OLD American -

You're deliberately missing the point. Nobody is advocating keeping food from hungry people. They're attempting to clue the clueless on to a disturbing fact of the dangers of big tyrannical government. It's about making sure those hungry people will never be self-sufficient again. It's about taking away their independence and even remotely attempting to get them back on their feet. It's about controlling the masses.

Man, it's hard to get a point across on a forum. I seriously think that critical thinking is a thing of the past. Only the words matter, not the meaning. I'm not going to bother explaining my OP anymore, because I'm tired of hitting people over the head. But thank goodness there are people that have posted on here, even people that normally disagree with me, that know what I'm saying apart from what I wrote.
Thanks for the all replies and discussions!

You have undeniably taken tax breaks and benefits the government gave out. You have gotten further because of the government in some way.

Well as a person who was bullied as a kid, I can certainly tell you that there were benefits to taking their breaks, and indeed taking advantage of them. From my observation taxes are really no different.

He basically means the big corporations didn't grow without any help, the startups were financed by the government.
