WHAT middle class entitlements? The middle class has always been the ones who make too much to qualify for grants for college and dont receive handouts from welfare. Who rely on a doctor for their prenatal healthcare–NOT the governments planned parenthood. AND its the interest from the loans to the middle class that are keeping the economy going. AND when variable interests rates started souring it was the middleclass that lost their homes. denied by SOCIALIST services for extensions. Dont “F” with the middle class.
If it wasn’t for The Blaze my ears would never hear the words from the MSN void where these two Communists work. Than you Blaze for connecting me to two people that make Communism look as foolish as possible. Does that mean that I’m helping their ratings?
The middle class is becoming “the poor”. People better start making better life decisions. Spend your money carefully, not on stuff you don’t need. Can you really afford to have another child? Do you have the money to raise that child, provide it with a decent quality of life? Nobody else should have to pay to raise your family because you made bad decisions. Sorry, that is the truth.
Yes, he does and I’d really like him to tell me all about the middle class entitlements, I’m sure I’ve got something coming to me.
Unless joe is referring to socialsuckurity which I’ve paid into for the last 35+ years and will not see a dime of.
Mika just wants the rich to “help”? Doesn’t she at least look at the numbers to see the “rich” are already paying the vast majority of the taxes? What she wants is simply redistribution of wealth like any other good Marxist. Sheese what is going on at MSLSAD? Even Joe has gone soft!
I know entitlements suck, but having lived in upstate NY and knowing some unfortunates who were on HEAP, the states heating oil program, I think turning off poor folks oil in winter may not get a whole lot of support.
And what exactly did the poor people in the 1930′s do for heat before heating assistance? Could it be they had a wood furnace and went out throughout the spring, summer, and fall to collect wood for the winter. I say it’s time for people to take responsibility for their own lives and quit waiting for the government to come to the rescue. If there wasn’t a heating assistance program no one would miss it, they would figure it out in hurray.
Someone better tell these morons that the middle class is the one with whom the Obozo administration is at war. Right now most middle class workers earn about 2/3 of the union thugs and pay a huge share of their associated expenses. they have no pensions and may conrtribute around 20 or more % to their health care, and yet their money goes to support the freeloaders( not the elderly or disabled on ss or medicare) who lay ontheir backs instead of getting jobs because they’ve been indoctrinated with the cradle to grave mantra of the Nanny State and the entitlement culture which goes to provide Demosnots with votes.
It sounds like a script. Who writes this junk? And who listens to it? Are they kidding? Do they really think they are being relevent? The “rich,” target now exhausted, they have turned their sites on the “uncaring,” middle class? They talk about Social Security, the forced savings plan you pay in from your EARNINGS, it was originally supposed to be, something young tax payers are “greedily hoarding.” Who are these people? Do they have any idea what they are talking about or is it all just more propaganda? More Social Justice…Supposedly softening us up for what sounds more – like Communism.
Maybe if there is enough of the frozen people we can use them as fissile fuel for the rest? That’s we did back in Communism. Talk about energy independence…and reducing the world population at the same time…win win?
I wonder if Fox Piven is ranting at Obama for taking away her special benefit to pay for her heating oil. Since she is the one that is wanting class warfare or riots in the streets like Greece.
I’ve been participating in the class war for quite some time now. In canvassing new customers, I ask them where they work. Since I do not advertise, or have a price list set in stone, I have for several years priced union workers at a higher rate. They can afford it. They don’t need any price breaks. Once, a few years ago, I did some studying on pricing, and complaints about pricing, and the union pukes were the ones complaining the most about high prices. They want the best benefits, the highest wages, and the lowest prices.
I agree. I think what most people are tired of is the “cradle to grave” entitlements. I live in Louisiana and I could make you sick with the Hurricane Katrina fraud stories. It is disgusting. And EVERYONE has disabled children. Can you imagin having 4 disabled children??? Yeah, ADD counts as a disablitity!! These ADD children ge SS checks!!! ALL of the people who lost their homes or project apartments due to Katrina got flipped to Section 8 housing!! We pay their rent up to $1500 a month!! It is crazy! And they all drive brand new cars!!!

Joe was trying to point out that the current “Baby Boomer” generation is approx. to 3 times larger than the current generation that has to pay into Social Security to pay benefits for the “Boomer” generation. It has been in the news for decades and the Politicians have done nothing to fix it. Progressives have let this problem become a crisis because if it does cause physical warfare or “riots” then the President in power can declare an Emergency that would require the states to mobilize their National Guard to keep order.
It is why when George Bush Sr. after the “Cold War” was declared over moved a lot of Active Duty military into the Reserves and National Guard and changed the way the Guard is mobilized for use. We now use the Reserve and Guard in ways that they were never originally intended and it is wearing them down. I wonder what “Force” Obama was calling for when he made a call for one to work inside the borders of the United States.
You both are so wrong! Do you really think the middle class is that heartless? You see class wars coming? You must be in bed with Obumbler. Why don’t you go to some commie country and shut your pie hole.
I foresee the poor doing one of two things. Moving to Central America where it is warm all the time or going out and sleep in their Prius, heat blasting, while plugged into their Republican’s outdoor outlet.
PS Remenber that Joe is a Republican (This is a bipartisan couple)
What a joke this is. Even these people are so stupid and brainwashed that anyone can tell that they are reading from a script that was written for them. I’ll bet it was written at the White House.
Our structural debt comes from democrats thinking the middle class as a bottemless pit of tax revenue. We, THE MIDDLE CLASS, do not have half as much as this idiot thinks we have and are not going to get half of what he believes we are supposed to recieve.
When the governemt employees we pay to manage our affairs feel they deserve a better pay and lifestyle that the average taxpayer, then we have a problem. Of course their going to have you focus on other wealthy people (sadly ones who have earned their wealth) as a way to justify their greed.
The day we allowed the public sector to unionize was the day America failed.
I was hoping that it remained a secret. Gosh, it’s part of getting into the Middle Class, you have to sign an affidavit pledging to starve and freeze poor people, without shame or remorse, at every opportunity.
It’s boggling that bobblehead idiots like this obtain, and keep, any kind of gainful employment.
Social Security? What’s that? It’s not like I am going to be seeing any of that. I like these irked and befuddled looks of the other middle-class people in the room with him. What have Mika and JOE done for the poor today?
I have such a hard time listening to Joe, he’s just too conservative for me. He’s about as conservative as Sean Penn. I like how she said “I don’t want to go after the rich, I just want them to help.” That was a classic line.
Follow the money and power. Our focus is on the wrong thing. Unions are irrelevant. The Federal Reserve and those behind it are undermining the constitution and the Free World to form a “New World Order” with one World Government controlled by one World Bank. Those behind the FED are also orchestrating ALL of the global unrest and economic instability that we are currently witnessing. Bringing down the FED should be our main focus…Watch: The Obama Deception
“A constitution of government once changed from freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”

“A private central bank issuing the public currency is a greater menace to the liberties of the people than a standing army. We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.”
Thomas Jefferson
I feel no obligation to pay for other people’s heating oil, particularly when the money is confiscated from me by force of law, and the choice as to where it goes lies with someone else. If I want to give charity, I will give it. But no other person, outside my family, should have a legal right to the fruits of my labor.
mika is a very frusted liberal female,she still cannot get over the fact daddy wanted a real MIKE…oh well..more of the lib social bottom feeders sucking up to the lemming class…
as a representitive of the working middle class, we have to pay full price for our food, electricity, college education, housing, clothes and heating. Of course we would rather have cuts to all the freebies the poor gets . most middle class families share 3 jobs to live paycheck to paycheck so we can pay for reduced housing, electricty, food, clothing, anducation and heatin costs for the poor. Joe is right, we have no sympathy for those who are unwilling to work.
Can’t watch the show anymore, Mika!! We should have drinking game for her simpleton statements, seriously, what I am missing, it’s only fair. Ditz is a complement
Ah, now the truth of their bigotry comes out; blame the clueless, arrogant, snobbish middle class for the problems of the lower class – and here it was just a few days ago the entire upper class and the super rich who were the non leftist and non communists that were the problems.
After listening to CottoneyeJoe’s rambling a few more times, I think I just found out something about the new libberish jargon :
Middle -class is libberish for
” non-union hard -working taxpayers, a k a non-parasites”
just like “ working families ” is libberish for:
“ union workers and other forms of moochers ”
I think the new meme from WH is :
Its a class warfare and middle-class is giving stink- eye to the working and poor families, the rich are off the hook ( for a little while )
Clowns.
It is the Energy Policy of the US, the taxes, and the lack of Domestic Production.
Set’s us up for the perfect storm of devalued Dollar and rising prices.
Add in a pinch of unrest in the Middle East, and Energy will be unaffordable for ALL not just the poor !
LOL .. and who has been silent while the world oil countries are blowing up … Obama … Mr. “energy prices will necessarily skyrocket” .. the “poor” will get their’s paid for by the government .. it is the MIDDLE CLASS that ALWAYS HAS TO SUCK IT UP AND PAY!
You can’t have class warfare without different classes. And making more than someone else doesn’t put you into a different class, it’s called being productive with what you have.
Government regulations are what is crippling the economy, not the rich people who deserve to keep every penny they earn, like anyone else in America – and even every penty given by other people, who also have the freedom to do what they want with their own money (That was for Congressman Wiener).
Uhhhh- waittaminit….. According to her It‘s the middle class’s fault. Also according to the libs, the union protestors are protesting to “protect the middle class” because they ARE the middle class. Sooooo, didn’t she just blame unions for class warfare?
Do they really think we‘re so stupid we won’t connect the dots? (That was rhetorical, for all you trolls out there.)
So… Morning Joe considers himself “middle class”?????
I’m assuming he makes more than 75k a year, don’t you think?
Poor Joe, he has to look into the mirror and see a “rich guy”.
He should just end it all.
Yep, here in FL we have been plotting to freeze the poor out of the state, sending them to NYC, Detroit, Chicago or CA where they really stand a chance at a better life. And in the summer we plan to get rid of the ones we couldn’t freeze out by roasting them in their homes. These two bozos make plenty of money, let them start a fund to help subsidize the poor. Yap, yap, yap and no action.
It is amazing that this woman even graduated from College, maybe she didn’t, maybe she got her degree like all other rich powerful families. The college she attended was to scared to loose daddy’s money so they just pushed her along past graduation.
And I guess she failed to read Obama’s budget where he proposes to cut Home Heating Oil subsidies to the poor. The Progressives are creating the “Class” warfare environment and she just can’t see it.
I don’t want any one any where at any time taking any thing from me and giving it to any one else. That is just plain wrong. This is a hard world and if the government took everything I made and gave it away we would all starve and be in such a low income bracket that we would be no more than cattle.You be cattle and I will work to have something. You be cattle and leave me along or I will finally use my rights to defend My property. Stop it or you will cause the deaths of millions.
What a dumb woman. Did you see her looking around for approbation of her comment. Class warfare is nothing. We will nip it in the bud if they will bring it. Joe, you are just a fool.
Why didn‘t you tell us they went to the Rosie O’Donnell “Social Economics 101 Seminar”. I’m too stupid to get it. Where do we begin?
Right up there with the “At no time in the history of man, has fire melted steel” Structural Engineering seminar. Hey Pittsburgh, ya still laughing at that one?
Leave it the a republican to blame the middle-class. Tea Baggers and the GOP have went to war against the Middle Class, the Working Class and the Poor. The Tea- Baggers are fools and usefull idiots that the GOP uses to protest against their own interests. Der Furher in Wisconsin, Rove, 1/2 Term Palin amd the rest of the GOP have made it their mission to crush the middle class and make them subservent to the Koch brothers.
Tea-Baggers you are going to have to decided are you for the American Citizens or do you enjoy living off the scrapes from the Koch’s table.
What did Obama do with his, IMO-undeserved, Nobel Prize money? What is Mr. GW (Global Warming) Gore doing with his fraudulently-obtained billions? Does Bwaney care if stinky freezes to death? Maybe, only if he votes the wrong way. Heck ,if you are cold, just add your name to the Pigford list, provided you are the correct color.
in two years the Marxist Dem-Wits have now determined that BIG..blah..blah.. is now the Middle Class…so $250,000.00 is out the window and you’re a RICH JERK..Blah..Blah.. if you make $50,000.00…UNLESS you’re in the UNION…next week if you make Min. Wage you’re a CAPITALIST JERK…hell they can’t make up thier mind on who HATE OF THE DAY is..is….
What used to be the middle of middle class is now on the rungs of the low income level,,,,,,and I’m only talking about the last ten years period. And those idiots think its our fault that the ‘poor’ are having difficulty getting assistance??? People are just trying to survive and they placing blame on us??
The old ‘middle middle’ class is BUDGETING and trying to MAINTAIN WITHIN EFFECTIVE LEVELS,,,,something that the governments, especially at the federal level, SHOUILD be doing. If any blame is to be cast,,,,that’s where it should go.

Claiming to be wise they have become fools. Number one reason for poverty in the USA is the broken family unit. Study after study has shown that when the father is not present in the home that those families not only make up a large portion of the poor but also the children raised in that setting typically perpetuate the same condition as they get older as well. This is the problem not the selfishness of the middle class or some perceived unfairness. This is also a problem no amount of programs or wealth redistribution can or will fix. Simple as that. How do these self proclaimed intellectuals miss the nose on this countries face time and time again.
Yep, I want poor people popsickles as far as the eye can see….oh wait, Im a poor people.
Poor folks are the ones most easily led astray and manipulated to their own detriment. The elitists have the money to stay above the fray and the rich just move. Sigh…..

I agree with Joe about the middle class – we all need to help to get ourselves out of this mess. But how did we get into such a mess so quickly – what has been done in the last eight years to get us to this point. We have to be honest and admit that it began with bailing out Wall Street – bailing out Wall Street from some obvious practice that were not exactly honest. So we bailed out Wall Street and they are back to making multi-million dollar bonuses as if nothing happened to them. My question is why are so many of these very people involved with the current administration and why aren’t some of them in jail. My next question is why are we still tied to foreign oil – so when anything happens in the Middle East it effects the price of our oil. We have talked for YEARS about not being dependent on foreign oil and here we are again. It is time that we start looking for oil and other fuel in this country. I am almost ready to become an isolationist. http://wp.me/pYLB7-H6
DO THEY STILL COLLECT MONEY FOR MENTAL ILLNESS CHARITIES?
Obama stopped the drilling of heating oil for the poor. Its Obama who is forcing people to burn food in their gas tanks. Obama is forcing the poor to freeze. These two people are insane and should not be allowed to anchor a TV program.
Pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all! I grew up reciting this every morning in school with my hand on my heart. We no longer do that for fear of offending someone!! Let’s see how many americans will re-post this & not care about offending.
No… We want the poor who are able to get off their lazy asses and work so they can by their own heating oil!!! Most all here have WORKED HARD to get what they have. And don’t give me any s**t about luck and opportunitry, we all were dealt a hand at birth and how you played it is the difference in the end. Granted jobs are not plentiful right now but they are out there.
I will help ANYBODY who is trying to help themselves but not a cent for those who demand they be cared for so as to avoid a job.,
I‘m so tired of these puke’s telling me I should continue to give more and more and more and get less and less and less. Sorry to tell you this you moron Joe but I’m not expecting to even see anything from those programs that I HAVE PAID INTO MY WHOLE WORKING LIFE because I realize that the government yahoos (like yourself) have pissed all the money away. You erogant piece of work you!
Joe always attaches blame for policies he disagrees with, and names those responsible in his mind…. except when it comes to Obama – no mention of the cutting of heating assistance being part of Obama’s proposed budget?
I have a better chance of being struck by lightning while holding my million dollar lotto check than the chances of a PMSNBC host demanding Obama to reform Social Security and Medicaid – apparently, the POTUS holds no fiscal responsibility as leader of the free world.
That’s right you progressive socialists. I have a wife and child to support and I don’t want to have ONE PENNY of my money stolen for your parasitic comrades. NOT ONE CENT!
Get the hell out of my wallet and my life you liberal bastards you…
Now see this one I can agree with. I never thought I would say that but I mostly agree with you on this one. It stands to reason that Bush was part of the problem but so had been Obama, we should be looking into OUR own oil, and some middle class programs need to be -reevaluated and adjusted however I would take that further and say that a lot of entitlement programs across the board need to get either cut or at least seriously de-fanged.
Ecinom, you have got to be one of the dumbest people I have ever seen. Do you not even see the inherent hypocrisy in the craps you espouse in your talking point copy and paste rantings. You can’t even stay on point when someone asks you a simple question, which tells me either you’re clueless and grabbing at straws in hopes of someone buying your crap responses as intelligent (probably what you hope but just isn’t going to happen), you are mentally damaged, or on the dole of one of these various kooky liberal organizations. I suppose there is another option where it is a combination of two or all of these.
This people do drugs?? Do you know how many people I know that DON’T pay their heating bills that COULD but WAIT for the government to do it for them.. I grew up POOR and WE had oil heat when others had natural gas.. I woke up MANY mornings COLD and was sent to the gas station to buy 5 gallons of heating oil and carried it home (and I am a small girl)..then there were the times we didn‘t have the money for heat and had to borrow this was back in the early 70’s.. so they can kiss my rear if they THINK their BS makes me feel bad.. tel
Well, I think they might need to speak with Mr. Trumka who recently said that unions have made and make up the middle class. Using his logic, the hosts are saying that unions and their members are selfish.
@watchtheotherhand
you are absolutely right about poverty and the break down of the family. I work with the poor, for a Christian organization and want to add that another huge problem (at least in my state) is what is often called the “poor tax”. Most of the poor DO NOT want to be that way, the system makes it very difficult for them to move up most of the time. For instance, is someone requests help for rent, they must first receive an eviction notice, if they request help with heating, they must first have a shut off notice. Obviously that type of behavior makes their credit rating go way down, makes it harder to get other housing and they are charged large deposits any time they need to start a new utilty, phone etc, they can never get a decent deal on insurance. In addition, in Michigan there is something called the “driver responsibility fee” added to most traffic tickets. If they are not able to pay the fee (they are quite high in many case, sometimes more than $1000, or higher). they lose their license, most keep driving because believe it or not, most actually have a job, it just does not pay well…. in no time they get pulled over again, and now they have litterally $1,000′s in fees. The fees may as well be a million because they can’t pay it. I am all for paying for your mistakes, if you get a ticket, you deserve the fine… BUT if you only make minimum wage it becomes almost impossible…. if you have a decent job to begin with, you can pay the fee, you may not like it, but you CAN pay it. I don’t live in a place where public trasportation is available except Monday-friday, 9-5, this does not fit the low income job schedule! Moving to a bigger town is not a relastic option for most either, keep in mind, they will have to pay huge deposits on any new place, new utilities etc.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not for givng the poor more of other peoples money, not at all! God did NOT tell the government to take care of the poor, He told the church to take care of the poor. That is because we the church (and all Christians and Chrisitan agencies, like my employeer) can help them, not by giving them money, but really HELP them get out of the place they are in. Help them learn new skills, (like how to budget, most have no idea) gain better employment, make lasting changes. The governemnt enslaves them in entitlement, it does not help them in the long run, never has and never will.
If these fotsoons donated 10% of their salary to helping elderly or disabled Americans with heatng bills I would say preach on, but I’m going out on a limb to say this may not be the case!
@ NOBAMAZONE…………we are definitely on the same page (you go sister)…….Entitlements are enslavement they aren’t meant to give people a hand up but are meant to make them a chronically dependent class on government handouts.
If you give a guy a fish he eats for the night (Compassion)
If you teach him how to fish he eats for life (True charity)
If you give him a fish everyday he becomes your slave !!!!! (Wickedness)
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Propane/natural gas has doubled in the last 10 years.
And if it doubles again (which it is about to do) your heating bills will double. Can you afford that?
I burn propane now,,,,but I’m going to wood soon (i live in the country)
It may be a bit past time to realize that elitists are the ones who will be making decisions for us once socialism becomes what America is about. How much you make, how much ‘goes’ to the poor, how warm we keep our homes, how much water we are allowed, how much food is actually in the stores.
Of course, they will still take what they can from us as far as discretionary money goes, too.
At the end of the day, some of these comments are only mean-spirited and therefore not helpful in making America Great. Please, Patriots sisters and brothers, take the Country back by uniting with Americans! This was the greatest country on Earth and will be again if our countrymen will Stand Together about the important stuff!
I don‘t think either of these dorks is old enough to have smoked pot at a college sit in the 60’s…but the brain cells are FRIED like they were there…what a couple of bafoons
The only way to help the poor is to allow more good jobs to return to America. Government regulation has chased manufacturing jobs from our shores. They have destroyed the profitability of creating your own product or business. Never give a man a fish. Rent/sell him a fishing pole.

Posted on February 28, 2011 at 3:22pmThe middle class is becoming “the poor”. People better start making better life decisions. Spend your money carefully, not on stuff you don’t need.

Right now most middle class workers earn about 2/3 of the union thugs and pay a huge share of their associated expenses. they have no pensions and may conrtribute around 20 or more % to their health care, and yet their money goes to support the freeloaders( not the elderly or disabled on ss or medicare) who lay ontheir backs instead of getting jobs because they’ve been indoctrinated with the cradle to grave mantra of the Nanny State and the entitlement culture which goes to provide Demosnots with votes.

The “rich,” target now exhausted, they have turned their sites on the “uncaring,” middle class? They talk about Social Security, the forced savings plan you pay in from your EARNINGS, it was originally supposed to be, something young tax payers are “greedily hoarding.” Who are these people? Do they have any idea what they are talking about or is it all just more propaganda? More Social Justice…Supposedly softening us up for what sounds more – like Communism.

Posted on February 28, 2011 at 3:40pmI’ve been participating in the class war for quite some time now. In canvassing new customers, I ask them where they work. Since I do not advertise, or have a price list set in stone, I have for several years priced union workers at a higher rate. They can afford it. They don’t need any price breaks. Once, a few years ago, I did some studying on pricing, and complaints about pricing, and the union pukes were the ones complaining the most about high prices. They want the best benefits, the highest wages, and the lowest prices.

Posted on February 28, 2011 at 4:18pmJoe was trying to point out that the current “Baby Boomer” generation is approx. to 3 times larger than the current generation that has to pay into Social Security to pay benefits for the “Boomer” generation. It has been in the news for decades and the Politicians have done nothing to fix it. Progressives have let this problem become a crisis because if it does cause physical warfare or “riots” then the President in power can declare an Emergency that would require the states to mobilize their National Guard to keep order.
It is why when George Bush Sr. after the “Cold War” was declared over moved a lot of Active Duty military into the Reserves and National Guard and changed the way the Guard is mobilized for use. We now use the Reserve and Guard in ways that they were never originally intended and it is wearing them down. I wonder what “Force” Obama was calling for when he made a call for one to work inside the borders of the United States.

But how did we get into such a mess so quickly – what has been done in the last eight years to get us to this point. We have to be honest and admit that it began with bailing out Wall Street – bailing out Wall Street from some obvious practice that were not exactly honest. So we bailed out Wall Street and they are back to making multi-million dollar bonuses as if nothing happened to them. My question is why are so many of these very people involved with the current administration and why aren’t some of them in jail. My next question is why are we still tied to foreign oil – so when anything happens in the Middle East it effects the price of our oil.

Now see this one I can agree with. I never thought I would say that but I mostly agree with you on this one. It stands to reason that Bush was part of the problem but so had been Obama, we should be looking into OUR own oil, and some middle class programs need to be -reevaluated and adjusted however I would take that further and say that a lot of entitlement programs across the board need to get either cut or at least seriously de-fanged.

Posted on February 28, 2011 at 7:12pmEcinom, you have got to be one of the dumbest people I have ever seen. Do you not even see the inherent hypocrisy in the craps you espouse in your talking point copy and paste rantings. You can’t even stay on point when someone asks you a simple question, which tells me either you’re clueless and grabbing at straws in hopes of someone buying your crap responses as intelligent (probably what you hope but just isn’t going to happen), you are mentally damaged, or on the dole of one of these various kooky liberal organizations. I suppose there is another option where it is a combination of two or all of these.

Posted on February 28, 2011 at 7:26pmThis people do drugs?? Do you know how many people I know that DON’T pay their heating bills that COULD but WAIT for the government to do it for them.. I grew up POOR and WE had oil heat when others had natural gas.. I woke up MANY mornings COLD and was sent to the gas station to buy 5 gallons of heating oil and carried it home (and I am a small girl)..then there were the times we didn‘t have the money for heat and had to borrow this was back in the early 70’s.. so they can kiss my rear if they THINK their BS makes me feel bad.. tel

Posted on February 28, 2011 at 8:02pmWell, I think they might need to speak with Mr. Trumka who recently said that unions have made and make up the middle class. Using his logic, the hosts are saying that unions and their members are selfish.

Report Post »you are absolutely right about poverty and the break down of the family. I work with the poor, for a Christian organization and want to add that another huge problem (at least in my state) is what is often called the “poor tax”. Most of the poor DO NOT want to be that way, the system makes it very difficult for them to move up most of the time. For instance, is someone requests help for rent, they must first receive an eviction notice, if they request help with heating, they must first have a shut off notice. Obviously that type of behavior makes their credit rating go way down, makes it harder to get other housing and they are charged large deposits any time they need to start a new utilty, phone etc, they can never get a decent deal on insurance. In addition, in Michigan there is something called the “driver responsibility fee” added to most traffic tickets. If they are not able to pay the fee (they are quite high in many case, sometimes more than $1000, or higher). they lose their license, most keep driving because believe it or not, most actually have a job, it just does not pay well…. in no time they get pulled over again, and now they have litterally $1,000′s in fees. The fees may as well be a million because they can’t pay it. I am all for paying for your mistakes, if you get a ticket, you deserve the fine… BUT if you only make minimum wage it becomes almost impossible…. if you have a decent job to begin with, you can pay the fee, you may not like it, but you CAN pay it. I don’t live in a place where public trasportation is available except Monday-friday, 9-5, this does not fit the low income job schedule! Moving to a bigger town is not a relastic option for most either, keep in mind, they will have to pay huge deposits on any new place, new utilities etc.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not for givng the poor more of other peoples money, not at all! God did NOT tell the government to take care of the poor, He told the church to take care of the poor. That is because we the church (and all Christians and Chrisitan agencies, like my employeer) can help them, not by giving them money, but really HELP them get out of the place they are in. Help them learn new skills, (like how to budget, most have no idea) gain better employment, make lasting changes. The governemnt enslaves them in entitlement, it does not help them in the long run, never has and never will.

Propane/natural gas has doubled in the last 10 years.
And if it doubles again (which it is about to do) your heating bills will double. Can you afford that?
I burn propane now,,,,but I’m going to wood soon (i live in the country)

Posted on March 1, 2011 at 6:54amIt may be a bit past time to realize that elitists are the ones who will be making decisions for us once socialism becomes what America is about. How much you make, how much ‘goes’ to the poor, how warm we keep our homes, how much water we are allowed, how much food is actually in the stores.
Of course, they will still take what they can from us as far as discretionary money goes, too.

Posted on March 3, 2011 at 8:07amThe only way to help the poor is to allow more good jobs to return to America. Government regulation has chased manufacturing jobs from our shores. They have destroyed the profitability of creating your own product or business. Never give a man a fish. Rent/sell him a fishing pole.
