We created a welfare state 40 years ago in order to keep people dependant on the government, those are the voters that your party can always count on…I guess we get those smart asians that blow the bell curve out of the water, and always manage to stay above the poverty level due to self dependence…. Didn’t Howard Dean say the same thing? I do believe he did:

Later in his speech Tuesday, Dean appeared to backtrack. “I’m not asking to go back to the ’60s; we made some mistakes in the ’60s,” he said. “If you look at how we did public housing, we essentially created ghettoes for poor people” instead of using today’s method of mixed-income housing.

Another mistake Democrats made in the ’60s, Dean acknowledged, was that “we did give things away for free, and that’s a huge mistake because that does create a culture of dependence, and that’s not good for anybody, either,” he noted, a reference to the Great Society welfare programs created by Democratic President Lyndon Johnson in the mid-1960s.

“Those mistakes were not the downfall of our program,” Dean added. “They helped a lot more people than they hurt. But we can do better and we will do better and our time is coming.”

LOL…

Gawsh, you’d think that 30 years of aggressive affirmative action would have made some difference. What more does it take?

Aw, what’s the use…IT’S BUSH’S FAULT!

“Poverty rates for blacks and Hispanics greatly exceed the national average. In 2004, 24.7 percent of blacks and 21.9 percent of Hispanics were poor, compared to 8.6 percent of non-Hispanic whites and 9.8 percent of Asians.”

(But, you’re a republican, so you probably either didn’t know or didn’t care.)

You guys have no idea.

With crap like this from the Heritage Fundies, it’s certainly no wonder at all why so many Americans have always considered Republicans HEARTLESS and INSENSITIVE.

Also why you will never get more than 10% of the black vote, and why you are getting less and less of the minority hispanic vote.

Keep shit like this up, and you’ll have very few friends to vote for your team at all. except, cold, heartless morons.

“If work in each family were raised to 2,000 hours per year”the equivalent of one adult working 40 hours per week throughout the year” nearly 75 percent of poor children would be lifted out of official poverty.”

Kinda reminds me of the bumper sticker: The best way to get on your feet is to get off your ass”.

I know these situations are often not that simple, but it seems if more sperm donors would take responsibility for their recreational activities, many kids wouldn’t be so poor. It is a recurring pattern in the illegals immigrant circles, for example.

One of the most selfish, disgraceful, evil imo things a person can do is bring children into the world with no plan, intent, or interest in being responsible for/to them.
