Honestly would you really care how much taxes you had to pay??Reply
I had a feeling someone would go for the combined numbers approach. It's a very convenient tactic, but Ridge was specifically referring to welfare and food stamps (his words), which is the 16% number. Social Security is mostly NOT welfare, it's retirement and some disabled/death benefits. Medicare/Medicaid is not all welfare, a large chunk of that is used by the aforementioned Social Security recipients and by people who don't qualify for employer-sponsored insurance. Unless you think the elderl

Funny when you agree with someone how you don't question they're word choices or spelling. see irregardless Maybe it was a bad use of the word moratorium however, to a degree my use of the word applies as you seek to use this forum to push your ultra conservative agenda. Part of this agenda is a halt on welfare all together. The word is defined as a halt on a particular activity until it can be further discussed. I hope you understand the context. Try not to cherry pick arguments like that

Irish $16M lottery winner still claiming over $6,000 a year in benefitsReply
I am glad you brought up the guy in Michigan. I for the life of me cannot figure out why everyone is so outraged about him taking welfare. He paid $1.2 million in taxes, 60% of what he won, the welfare that he is collecting is his own money. He had paid more in taxes than most people in the country, more than even a lot of corporations. He can collect welfare till the day he dies and he will never get even 10% of his money back. There are a lot of people complaining about him that are living

CA couple expecting first baby wins $208M lottery jackpotReply
Well, the concept of welfare is a dillema. There will be, always be unfortunate suckers who can't run in the rat race. But what are we gonna do? Leave them to starve and die? But if we have cradle-to-grave welfare system, someone will eventually exploit the system. :( You know, no system is perfect. When I realized that I pretty much became apolitical. I know that many people will disagree with me, but I believe that we are living in a world with limited resources. Someone's got to get

Lottery winner who kept cashing welfare checks charged with fraudReply
Clayton won over $700,000 last September but continued to collect the welfare benefits. Euline Clayton told reporters that her daughter used bad judgment but that a criminal case is crap. She said Amanda called the Human Services Department about her lottery winnings but could never reach anyone. Even her mother knew she shouldn't spend the welfare money. Just the fact that Amanda called the department proves that she wasn't sure if the welfare money was hers to spend. With over $500,000

Actually it was Dana who first hijacked this thread with the comment about theses welfare folk then Pa elaborated and Sully chimed in with another attack on anyone getting welfare not just the abusers. Then mcginn made the point that this isn't the place to be debating the welfare system as whole , because it was supposed to be about people who continue to receive benefits even after winning. And then of course you chimed in with your hate filled rantings. Something we are all fed up with. Now

Lottery bill could limit winner's takeReply
Perhaps the politicians should just grow a backbone and reform the welfare system, rather than tinkering with the lottery. I thought you just said you did not like government intrusion? You do not agree or disagree,... how wishy-washy. Government is not telling people they cannot gamble, read it again. Nowhere does it say they are tinkering with the lottery. State governments that have lotteries do not tinker, but rather run it like a business. Is there something wrong with the welfare depa

NO COMPUTER DRAW. Computers can be hacked.
I'm an American-born Chinese-heritage person. I've dealt with Chinese Lotteries: some of them are the rumored to be the most corrupt in the world. I bought exactly 1 ticket over there. Just 1 reason for NO COMPUTER DRAW. Random generators aren't random. One lottery computer that generated random numbers was hacked by a computer employee in China. He was only caught b/c he left clues, was related to China Welfare Lotto and won. HE didn't know enough about RNG Computer to cover hi
