I was born in government housing. we were on food stamps for most of my childhood. I attended public schools where my breakfasts and lunches were paid for. I earned a scholarship to UT, a public school, where I also received pell grants. I now pay a metric shit ton in taxes and have endowed a scholarship at UT - all part of giving back to the country, state, and university that helped me and my family climb out of poverty. I know it works because I lived it.

You should write fatty a heartfelt thank you note for all those tax dollars he gave to support your family of deadbeats. /sarcasm

I just can't imaging lamenting that my tax dollars are going to educating someone, or feeding someone, or providing them shelter, or taking care of their medical needs.  But I'm not a piece of shit, so I got that going for me...

Yeah if the founding fathers wanted the general welfare of the nation to be taken care of, they would have put it in the constitution

so, like, 'everyone' has access to home ownership and college and sufficient healthcare?? huh. someone should let millennials and genz know bc they seem pretty gotdamn pissed at the state of things rn. 🤔

Do they not have the same access as me or you? Is someone not allowing them a house built by a subsidized builder, on a subsidized cul de sac, as the example stated?   Conversely, I will not be in any shape or form reimbursed for the debts I voluntarily took on, and satisfied.  Just another example in a long line of how to get ahead for simply existing. 

[Captainant 27680]

It must be hard to go through life constantly keeping a balance sheet against every other person you see, constantly measuring to see if you're getting as good a deal as them.

Christ, fatty. Does literally everything in life boil down to dollars for you? You must be a real fuckin hoot at parties.

Oh, I couldn’t help but noticed you listed a bunch of items that are available to everyone, not just those cherry picked by their inability to be a productive member of society.   Weird.

What gets lost among all the right wing crying over student loan forgiveness is that, at least in previous rounds (not sure on this one), these were loans that SHOULD HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN ALREADY. By the terms of the loans when they originated.  The government just wasn’t following through on those terms. Biden made it happen. That’s why conservatives can't stop him. 
 

So fatty is pissed that loan terms, AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE, are actually being enforced not just for people like him, but for “society dead beats” like teachers, retail workers, etc.   Such a fucking victim.

Guys, you're never going to believe this, but I went ahead and Googled the dates and speeches that fatty referenced (that I guess he keeps on a Rolodex?), and it's just a bunch of far right sources trying to conflate Joe's repeated opinion that he lost Beau to the burn barrels in Iraq as Joe actually thinking that his son physically died in the Middle East. Boy, color me shocked. The New York Post even obtained exclusive video away from the mic! What, the Gateway Pundit was too busy those days? Or not as large of a travel budget?

The majority of families who leave the welfare system do so after a relatively short period of time, about half leave within a year; 70 percent within two years and almost 90 percent within five years.

He knows these numbers. He's been told them dozens of times. It doesn't fit the narrative that he's spent a lifetime constructing, so they can't be allowed in. 

Just as he knows that they're not just passing out money to anyone with student loan debt, and that you have to meet a certain criteria (namely, you've already been paying your debts+interest for a very long time) to qualify.

Not a lot of room for nuance in the guns and taxes brigade, I'm afraid.

Hey, I agree it's clumsy, and he should be careful when implying that his son died because of burn barrels as to not make it sound like he literally died on the battlefield. 

But do you actually believe that Joe Biden is so senile that he sometimes thinks that his son died in the Middle East, or that he's lying to steal valor for his son as a fallen soldier? No, you don't. You're just trolling with the same shit sources that I'm sure all of you 2nd and 3rd hand information ultimately derives from.

A very small percentage of your tax dollars--that you'll never, ever feel in a significant way--will find its way towards the less fortunate (and, gasp, an even smaller percentage of those will be there purely because of laziness and ineptitude, not unfortunate circumstance), and you've spent a lifetime complaining about it. Pathetic.

No, I believe he is a bullshitter who is 80 years old and is in cognitive decline (you can decide how much).  Just like I don't believe he went to black, Puerto Rican, and (insert group in front of you here) churches growing up, as he often claims.  I don't believe most of the shit he says.  But I haven't believed shit from the president since I was a child.

Except it is your problem. The most stabilizing force in the United States has been proven to be a reduction in childhood poverty. It also works in the inverse - i.e., it's the most impactful predictor of a child's life trajectory (spoiler - bad). Poor children aren't doing something malicious to have this happen to them. Not everyone can have jobs that pay them/their family above the median household income. How do we reduce childhood poverty without tax revenue? What's your idea for an alternative source of revenue for the federal government?

Your story presents the clear dichotomy: there is one group that thinks of the human capital that is the American people as a CAPEX (an investment that feeds and fuels our future), and there's another group that thinks of the American people as OPEX (every dollar spent is a waste, they should be slashed as much as possible).

I too am a product of such investment: my mother grew up on government subsidies (it was the reason she had food to eat for much of her youth).  I got two degrees from UT for free (paid for by scholarships courtesy of the people of Texas).  I now pay a metric shit ton in taxes, I help fuel our economic engine in quite a few different ways, I give my time and money to others in pretty copious amounts, etc.  The State of Texas has gotten a massive return on its investment.  Data shows that the investment almost always yields significant benefit within a generation of said investment.  

It's not just decent and compassionate.  IT'S GOOD AND SMART BUSINESS.  PEOPLE WHO TREAT THEIR FELLOW AMERICANS AS A COST CENTER, NOT AN ASSET TO BE INVESTED IN, ARE VERY, VERY BAD, NO GOOD, AND STUPID AT BUSINESS.

This is going to sound really crazy but guess who said the following quote? (hint hint... his words are in red)

"13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”

Not that one must be religious to guide their morality, but what's really going on here is that you've constructed your own moral compass that confirms and codifies any and all assumptions you conjure in that hateful skull of yours.

Nothing we say is going to change your mind. However, there is mountains of evidence (from democratic countries all over the world) that show you are wrong.
