You cannot read... Yes I can. You cannot write. I don't blame the poor Yes you did...you said no more welfare. do you know that welfare is a small amount of the budget. And it's is a very needed support for many folks who are challenged. I don't call it lazy. People who qualify for welfare usually don't have any alternatives. In a large society such as ours we should have a safety net for those that cannot find work or are otherwise impaired. What would you do? Put them on the streets to die? I blame the liberal politicians for using the poor for their own political gain, they don't care about the poor... Dude, welfare is a needed program. And the welfare program rolls have been going down over the last decade. It is not a liberal program or a conservative program. It's a program that we as an enlightened society have in place to help those less fortunate. It's the right thing to do. Welfare fraud is not a problem of any magnitude. and it is big business that gives the poor their jobs, but by restricting business you make it more difficult for business to create jobs... Big business is busy outsourcing and offshoring. They don't give the poor jobs...unless it's over seas. Jobs are being lost at a tremendous rate, and Bush's tax cuts for the rich have not created any jobs. Business is as unrestricted as it ever has been, but the economy was much more robust under Clinton. All the lack of restrictions on big business has done for the common man is send their jobs over seas and run up a huge deficit. You're the one that'll never get it. Orca
