If you don't want people to receive welfare from your tax dollars (which should instead go to as many wars as possible, all over the globe and on our southern border) then make sure that poor people receive a living wage for the work they do. That is exactly how you check welfare. People who receive fair wages that they and their family can live on, DO NOT NEED WELFARE. It really is that simple.
But, this is why I despise teapublicans. They want to eliminate welfare AND the minimum wage. They have even less common sense than compassion. Millions of Walmart employees- the nation's largest employer- rely on government aid to survive. These teapublican assholes would not only take that away from them but, they would eliminate the Federal guarantee of a minimum wage, for everyone.
Life's a crapshoot for others, they guess. Sure, Walmart could then lower wages to $2 an hour but, they could also just as easily bump everybody up $10. That's the free market! The beauty is you just never know where that invisible hand will go. Well, I think they know.
In the threads, whether they portray themselves as college-educated, adulterous lawyers or as clowns on an avatar, these assholes see nothing wrong with America cutting the pay and welfare of its own citizens. Nothing. No downside. No backlash. No unintended consequences. What could possibly go wrong?
Sublime has said that you eliminate the minimum and eliminate welfare and these people will stand on their own to feet and perhaps go to college and get better jobs. Well, he hasn't said that in so many words. He's said that in 4000 characters (sometimes a few less) because that is the max amount per post on Topix. Clowns like Clem are more succinct and grammatically conservative with their venom. . They just come right out and say it without trying to sound smart. Hate and stupidity all breaks down the same whether you have a diploma or not. It's still hate and still stupid.
The irony is that for a lot of people it sounds better coming from an educated sounding person in Congress like Paul Ryan or some pundit on Fox news. Sarah Palin's whole purpose in life is to translate GOP ideology into idiot for folks who know they should like Paul Ryan but can't quote him so easily after a 6-pack as they can Sarah. She speaks like a 12-pack. It's the same on Topix except that for every Sublime that tries to rationalize and present hate-speak for the hoity-toity elite, there's a thousand clowns who spew in plain talk for the rough trade.
I think that no one hates Americans more than Americans. Can you imagine in this country, people are screaming to cut the pay of other Americans? Well, sure- they are also arming themselves against other Americans. Why stop there? Sheesh. In the back of their feeble minds, I think they do understand cause and effect. They won't verbalize it necessarily but, they realize that taking away wages and welfare is going to cause the lesser Americans to rise up. The thing is, they see those lesser Americans as darker-skinned and thus, deserving of maltreatment. They seem to have no clue that wealth and power has no love for them either. When you deem others as expendable, you make yourself expendable. Some are too stupid-or too smart- to know that.

If one does the math, it is next to impossible for a single person living alone to make ends meet without government assistance. If there are dependents involved, it would be absolutely impossible. Yet the Republicans want to reduce or eliminate both the minimum wage and government assistance. Need I say more?
