    Well it doesn't say that....but the constitution also doesn't say poor people should not become educated, not contribute taxes, and live off the government programs that are draining the taxpayers.

    We give the poor free food,free education, and cheap housing yet they still pay almost no taxes and keep giving birth to more people who continue the cycle.....where in the constitution did it say the people who choose to work hard and become successful have to baby these people and pay 99 weeks of unemployment and make sure they eat for free and have access to healthcare?

    Obama is manipulating the poor by giving them free schit. Why? because it gives the democrats votes.

    Don't have a phone, no problem! Obamaphones up in HURRRR!!

    No heathcare? WE GOT DAT TOO!!! OBAMACARE

    nevermind about the government's ability to pay for all this

    I hope the GOP accepts the affordable care act but removes the exemption for congress......then we can see if the dems really stand alongside the poor they're out to help bc right now they love obamacare but yet don't want to share the same healthcare plan as their voters.....that's odd they still want the healthcare of the elite even though obamacare is awesome

    fchowd....nice map.....since when is europe a model to emulate lol

    25% greek unemployment, 50% youth unemployment....spain is in crisis

    o but they have a great healthcare system

    did i mention a 75% tax on the top bracket in france and that a famous actor gave up his citizenship to move to belgium this year

    or that 90% of millionaire gave up residency in england?

    LOL that you think that map proves me wrong, the rich are smart they move where the taxes aren't. That's why texas and florida are seeing such population booms now.

    I think you are seriously confused or trolling. You do know if your employer already provides health insurance prior to obamcare being in place you still keep the same coverage and nothing really changes.

    Thus, since senators and representatives are government employees and government employees always received health insurance from their employer(the U.S. government) they are "exempt from Obamacare" as with any other government employee such as military service members who already have tri-care etc.

    I won't throw stones at Obama for particular incidents, however, he is a terrible leader who thrives on dividing instead of uniting.

    We spend the LEAST amount on social programs relative to GDP when compared to the ENTIRE WESTERN DEMOCRATIC WORLD... SO eddiewinslow, what nation should we emulate? Somalia? Iran? China?

    I think he's well aware how much of a douche he is. Even his moniker is a shot at an African American character.

    thank you! him choosing trayvon(the criminal who was a drug user and a troublemaker at school's) side was blatant race baiting. Tons of shootings happen and the majority of blacks are killed by other blacks(also a fact google it).....yet he chooses this case to make a statement

    disgusting by the office of the president.

    fchowd....at least China has a surplus of cash and isn't knee deep in debt. They're growing at a higher clip than us even though they're 5x the size. I think you forget that a country is a business.....our goal is to have a surplus, not be knee deep in debt to pay for the poor.

    I have to ask, if these people aren't contributing much to society as is in terms of tax revenue ie 47% pay nothing, then why are we trying so hard to make sure they're healthy and live so long? Is it so they can continue having more and more kids and voting democrat??? Because we all know them living longer isn't going to magically make them contributing tax payers.

    I'd rather we focus healthcare on successful tax payers and ensure they survive longer so they can keep paying taxes and hopefully help us pay down this debt

    darwinism.....survival of the fittest ftw

    He didn't choose anybody. All he said was that there should have been a trial for the death of an unarmed kid. When the trial reached a verdict and Zimmerman was found not guilty he explicitly stated that everyone should respect the verdict. Of course, In your warped reality he did choose a "side".

    Ironic... In your specific case, your survival was entirely dependent on how rich your parents were not how much of a "hard worker" you were.

    China's growth is entirely unsustainable. China's government is trying to shortcut their way to the top while ignoring their citizens to the point where you need a ****ing mask to breath in their major cities. If you want to go that route move there.

    Neither half-black Obama nor the government pays for the cell phone program, enacted under President Reagan in 1984 and bolstered by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and implemented again in 2008 before the current POTUS was even elected.


    this is paid for by the telecommunication companies.

    these are facts.

    we went over this.

    Everyone in America pays taxes, if you believe otherwise, you have been listening to and believing people who are lying to you.
