Cell Phone Welfare. Now Give me a break; I need to stay in touch with my customers; but it only cost me $200 plus a month in cell phone bills because it IS A NECESSITY!! Since when do we give cell phones a luxury item at tax payer expense???

This is wha makes people like me go postal; If I would have known if I just sit on my A$$ all my life i would have never wasted all of my life working my A$$ off so we could give drug dealers and welfare receipents everything they ask for. Now where is this crap when my neice that lost everything in Hurricane Rita asked for a grant of $800 to start her own cleaning service instead of taking a hand out to sit on her duff.

BTW Uncle; I sent her the money after you denied her that and food stamps you gave everyone else.

Darn that felt good to get off my chest!!

NYS is worse if you can beleive it.

They pay people to go on vacation and reimburse people for travel expenses taking their own kids to school or therapy.
Get this I have to reimburse empployees to clean their uniform, thats right a uniform tax to clean your clothes, LOL.

Democracy is when the People get what they deserve GOOD and HARD

Rickie, Im sorry but I dont see the problem. How else is someone on welfare expected to call the welfare office to say their check is late and see if there are any new entitlement programs for them.
Unfortunately for your niece she didnt have 7 children by eight different dads. (I know the math is wrong, there waiting for the paternity test on Maury Povich).
I hope your niece is doing better. It often seems like the people who should get help dont.

Stuff like this is why I don't watch the news. Ignorance is bliss.

I believe they will get theirs someday. In the mean time, I will work hard pay for their crap and enjoy my life as a success, take vacations, buy new cars, spend money on my family and loved ones. The way I see it is: even though they get ALL that stuff, they're really missing out on the finer things. I enjoy working and when I don't work I am angry and depressed. That's usually how they are too, angry and depressed.

That is right attitude individually

It changes when you hire employees or rent to tenants, your view of the world will change, alot. Not to mention retirement funds or lack there of

The taxes,fees and rules are completely absurd and when you have to write that check that my friend is when liberals become conservatives, when you persoanlly have to write that check or deal with some tenant that wrecks $5000 of your hard earned money or an employee steals still collects unemployment insurance or sues you for some nonsense OSEA charge or Discrimination charge.

That is when people change for real, when they have to write BIG checks.

I know it's frustrating to see people take advantage of "The System," but at least you have stuff to be taking advantage of. MANY MANY people do not and will never have the luxury of owning a business, even people who have the right to. Maybe its me (and I know I can be cynical about the human race, as been shown in the tipping point thread), but I am very grateful I have these luxury's to get frustrated about.

I do understand that but i am not talking about widows/orphans or the bottom 5-10% of every community, i feel it is our obligation to support your weakest members.

but not bottom 40-50%, not free cell phones, not 99 weeks of unemployment ... SHEESH 99 weeks to find a job LOL
I do not think i have taken 99 Days off in my entire life let alone 99 weeks.

Buzz Kill

you just killed the thread, once you bring race into any discussion it is over.Stick to facts too much central govt., not enough personal responsibility.Who cares what they look like.

Now you see what happens with Tea Party, 1 guy makes a racial comment and the whole idea of less taxes is tainted
