The point is government never is effective as the private sector. What a waste government is when they try to control equal distribution. Who gets the privileges? Of course the government will protect their incomes. The liberals want government to make all our decisions. Let Obama and the liberals decide for us and it will take away whatever motivation we have away from us. Why work and try to get ahead when it will be given to people who feel they are in titled to have the same benefits as we do without doing anything. I believe in helping the less fortunate, but you know there are people that don't even try. Look at the ones who get government benefits to feed their children and instead let there kids go hungry to by drugs for themselves. Who is monitoring this? The government? How effective has that been? If we follow Obama, we will be stupid lemmings!
Sounds like you already are. You are willing to give up women's rights and freedoms and be ruled by another puppet (just like Bush) you ladies haven't had enough taken away from you yet.
Please tell me what level of education and grade you made? For some reason the writing of Tri/Whit and the other ladies who seem to be fluent in economics and the real world also seem to have agood grasp of the english language. Which really helps lead me to believe that it's the downfall of the education system and religious uprisings (and unstandardized) home schooling that has led women to undo everything their mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers fought for-to give up your rights. You write about the Republican campaign without backing the claims and at the same time making big ugly generalisations. Have you read the Economist lately? No, I didn't think so.
If Romney gets in he's going to dumb the eduction system down so much it will truly be a country of extremists. It's a tried & true method of controling the masses while corporatists, the private school-educated higher society (that you've likely never chummed with) will be laughing all the way to the bank.
Well I don't know if you're referring to me since I'm rooting for Romney, but I was private school educated and then attended one of the most prestigious universities in California. I work in the pharmaceutical industry as a Microbiologist.
Once again, I will state that feeling like government should have less of a role in business and the economy does not make you an idiot or a horrible person. It just defines your political party. To be honest, I totally agree with Romney that the states need to have more of a say and decide what works best for them. That is how the government was created to run. Every state is so unique and has individual needs, so why try to make one big system that has to now squeeze into everybody's mold? I 100% believe that we need a welfare system for those who need it. HOWEVER, I don't think it should be a "federal" system. Texas will have different needs then California and New York. Why not let each state work together and determine what they need to best take care of their people.
It seems a lot of the people commenting on here are from outside the US. I'll say upfront that it's been very educational and enlightening to read everybody's opinion. However, my guess is that most people who are not US citizens are not going to have an "in depth" knowledge of American History. I'm certainly not saying everybody, just the majority I'm guessing. The US was created to be exactly that...individual states that are united by a federal government but still able to run and function within their own governments as well. It seems we've lost so much of this vision the bigger and bigger the federal government grows. I don't see how it makes me a bad person to think that welfare belongs to each state's government's agenda and not the federal government?
Edit to add: It seems fair to keep in mind that probably a lot of us are coming on here at night, sleep deprived from taking care of LO's, while nursing etc etc and certainly won't be typing with the accuracy and mental clarity as if we we're doing a work or school assignment. It's probably not fair to judge a person's educational status or intellectual ability by what they're typing on a forum like this. This is forum is just for fun and to connect with other Moms ( for me at least anyways) and I'm definitely not going to be editing my statements I make on here (unless it's to add something I forgot of course)
With all the garbage spewed and long term Republicans being offended and disenfranchised by the crude remarks, in my mind those crazy senators have given the election to Obama. You can't say things like that without even long term intelligent Republican people taking notice, this one's in the bag!
