If government wasteful spending is wrong (need your input!) |
|
how come we cut welfare programs for poor people but give loads of money to mega-billion corporations? (note to Dem candidates: When elected, cut all corporate welfare - instantly, permanently, and UTTERLY. Republicans say welfare is wrong, and surely it's asinine to think that somebody who has a lot of $$$ somehow needs government help?!)
how come we'll spend money for sports stadiums and to subsidize these overpaid hamhocks yet privatize things that EVERYBODY uses and needs. A select group of people likes sports. They should pay their own way. We ALL use AND need roads, so therefore we all should pay for them - via taxes, for government, so prices and maintenance are fair.
Come one folks, help me out here. I intend to write letters to every politician and I need your input here as well. It may do nothing in the end, but at least an effort was made.
Thanks.

2. The Trickle-downers are in control... |
|
...and they've convinced far too many Americans that the wealthy will take their money and 'create' jobs and prosperity. This economic theory has never worked...but those without a job or home are hardly in a position to complain.

3. Cause they say the poor are not "deserving" |
|
and the rich are "successful", therefore "deserving" of government help. Quite an oxymoron yes? It's just divide and conquer tactics of the right.

It's just that a lot of corrupt assholes look upon the US Treasury as a big candy store. Taxpayers dollars are supposed to benefit the taxpayer, with public works and social programs, like public schools. Instead we have corporations, who probably wouldn't survive in the Darwinian competitive world that they preach about being subsidized with our tax dollars, which they throw some of back to the corrupt politicians' campaign funds who get re-elected so they can throw more money their way.
