People, people...I've been following Rufus on the ethanol trail for about two years..he's been at it a good deal longer...as is my habit I often double check things ...the old trust but verify...

I say Rufus knows more about this subject than Miss Teen South Carolina ..no, just joking , she knows a ton more ...ok extended joke....

No I'm placing my bet behind Rufus. He's covered this six ways from Sunday over the years.

Rufus,

I believe for the sake of future prying eyes that you are certainly talking about her mother or Mrs. South Carolina...although should the person in question be 18+, well I'll have a double!!

The poor. What can you say? I say we don't have enough of them.

The only reason we don't is we have sudsidized the poor with child support, vouchers, job training and a host of other socialist programs.

In 2006 56% of our buget went to Social programs. The year I was born 1948 it was 10%. A family of four gets $36,892 in government subsidies.

Feathering the nest

New data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis confirm that the average federal civilian worker earns $106,579 a year in total compensation, or twice the $53,289 in wages and benefits for the typical private worker.

Social spending spending

Federal Spending is $9,223 per man, woman and child
Social Spending up 14 Times Faster Than The Economy

Here take a look for youself. It makes me sick.

We don't have nearly the number of poor we should have because in my world you pull you weight unless for some reason charity is needed. Then you do the Chrisitan thing. But that does not include welfare Cadillacs.

I have said it before but perhaps new eyes are falling on these words. Karl Marx said:

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need (or needs) is a slogan popularized by Karl Marx in his 1875 Critique of the Gotha Program. The phrase summarizes the idea that, under a communist system, every person shall produce to the best of their ability in accordance with their talent, and each person shall receive the fruits of this production in accordance with their need, irrespective of what they have produced In the Marxist view, such an arrangement will be made possible by the abundance of goods and services that a developed communist society will produce; the idea is that there will be enough to satisfy everyone's needs.

So some bright leftest out there tell me we haven't already reached your Nirvanna since the "rich" pay 95% of the tax burden in this country and receive back, for a family of four $36,892 in social services ....that they don't qualify for anyway.......*someone step up and tell me we aren't a full blown socialist country* ....cause I'd love to read the ratioanale.

I know one of the biggest rationales is to keep those who would be truly bad off from torching the country....which they do from time to time anyway.

BD don't be a buzzkill now ... we distort..you decide .... plus after we build desalinization plants and trillion dollars terrorist target pipelines we'll be do'in just fine......

ALSO to do a D&C on my we need more poor the thought behind that was that if we did nor give away so much of other peoples money to people who can work but won't because thier iPod ,baggy pants , and earring conflict with MacJobs...take away the rice bowl and #1 we'd have e more than enough Americans picking our oranges, tomatoes, etc and the invaders wouldn't have a reason to cover their invasion although they would evade that reasoning and invade anyway ..whew CAUTION :RUN ON SENTENCE AT FULL WARP.
