No they don't. Even Billionares get SS if they paid in.I heard those figures also include social security which I don't consider welfare as I paid in specifically to it. Now those who didn't pay in, that's welfare.
excuse me sir are these your shoes (lol)They don't call me Anglo. They call me pinche gringo.
I am still learning about Texas.
Why are white people referred to as Anglos by Mexicans? I am various European and native ancestory as well as Italian and Spanish ( as in Spain) buddy from college was from Texas and of Mexican heritage and he always referred to the white guys on the football team as anglos/ I always thought anglos to be british, german and things like that.
I keep hearing they are better off because they can drink out of the same water fountain as I do. Yea, so what if you are living in public housing, have 8 kids, drugs and booze are your choice of fun, of the 8 kids they all have a different daddy, if you go to work you lose your welfare check, there is no pride in your life, no satisfaction of a days work other than watching the TV all day and your only goal in life is to qualify for one more of the 69 hand out programs the govt offers you. Sorry, but drinking out of the same water fountain does not mean squat.
72% children born without a father
Black on Black crime is a major problem. FBI has a ton of info on this
Obesity: Why not, everything is free and that is the price that has to be paid and of course vote every couple of years.
The govt did not give them a safety net, it gave them a hammock instead. Affirmative Action programs have never made a single black better or smarter. In a study done by the US Army on Black officers the results were WTF! We had black officers on active duty with 6th grade level reading, writing and math skills, yet 100% of all officers have a college or better degree.
25 years in the IT business and I hired every black that came thru my door, which was very few and even fewer had the skills to work in my shop, I would send them to school and do anything to bring them up thru the ranks and very few stayed on, they just could not hack it...(same almost goes for women, but I had a higher degree of success with them grasping what we did).
There is a growing trickle that have shunned the free programs and work hard and become a success, but you cannot do it while laying in a hammock, or getting passing grades for just taking the tests. The Dems aided by the GOP have done more to hold them back than at anytime in the history of our country.
Welfare State: 69 Means-tested Programs and $940 Billion in Annual Spending
I am nearly 70, grew up in the S, Texas and E Texas, San Antonio (South side and proud of it) till dad retired in '62 and we moved to the ranch. Back in those days almost all blacks worked, there was no welfare and they strong families. I was partially raised by a black woman, who I loved dearly, she was one of the first folks I stopped in to see when I came back from Vietnam and I think I can she loved me, I remember her taking me to the Circus and I could not see so I sat on her shoulders, God rest her soul. She was my nanny.I also remember 50 years ago first hand. You could leave your home unlocked all the time even when on vacation. When you bought a new car the keys stayed in the ignition as long as you owned it and if it was stolen the blame was all on the thief! My uncle taped his drivers license to the steering column of the family car and only carried money and a pocket knife, no need to show your papers to anyone.
President Eisenhower tried to get Civil Rights laws passed during his term but was blocked by the Democrats led in part by Senator Johnson of Texas, I don't think his plan included Social Justice and handouts for a bunch of parasites with no desire to better themselves so they would vote Democrat for the next 200 years!
Are you talking about the Community ReInvestment Program?While I agree with your government handouts argument, I disagree with your argument regarding the CRA. Those are completely mutually exclusive. The CRA offers many wonderful opportunities. The welfare programs encourage laziness and abuse. The Government giveth and the government taketh away.
