Thom Hartmann: America's real welfare queens...



When Republicans talk about “welfare queens,” they’re really talking about their buddies in big banks, Big Oil, and giant transnational corporations. It’s time to cut off the corporate welfare pipeline, and use those billions of dollars to help our economy recover, and to help those Americans who need it the most.

Dylan once said "Money doesn't talk, it swears", so be it when the term "welfare queen" is used to denigrate poor hungry Americans who suffered the biggest cuts in food assistance in Nov. 2013 and are being targeted for further cuts in the Food Bill still pending. Thom is speaking the truth that the MSM avoids like the friggin' plague. Share this, write/call US Reps, write to newspapers, talk to whoever will listen. Hunger is in the balance...

Is not it bribery?
How are corporations getting bailed out but people are getting cut off?
