Jon Stewart's plea for gun control
Oye, do you really believe that?
Did you read the article? I would think a disagreement you would have would be on the parameters they established for what constitutes "entitlements"
I do believe that what you think is plaguing the system is not plaguing the system.
I do believe that on this issue, like others you've posted on, you aren't taking any time to scratch any deeper than a superficial selectivity that comports with your political agenda. I know you've done it with various educational issues. And even when people post something informed that contradicts what you believe, you just dismiss it.
You're doing it here by asking whether or not I believe that the 91% is accurate.
It is, I think. But you have to accept the criteria upon which they are basing the number.
Maybe all the people that don't work don't really get any welfare. Maybe they all turn tricks I guess.
so if the 91% number doesn't apply to the people you know, it means it doesn't apply to the hundreds of millions you
don't?
What you are doing is overstating the anecdotal. If you want to say, "Well that 91% doesn't seem to vibe with the people I know" that's one thing. It's another to say, "Well, that number has to be wrong because it doesn't apply to the few people I know."
Why is the left so hell bent on hiding entitlements to people that don't work and have babies to get more money.
Hiding entitlements?
Did you even read up on the study?
If anything, they are applying the definition of "entitlements" to broadly, not too narrowly. What are they hiding? What specific forms of entitlement are they hiding?
Was the study done by "the left"?
You're caught up in 1980s rhetoric about 'welfare moms.' I think that's where you are cognitively stuck.
In many of your posts, you seem to ignore present day realities and statistics. For example, school violence is down. Teen pregnancy is down. Teen volunteerism is up. School shootings are down. Youth violent crime is down. The welfare queen isn't eating up our entitlement budget.
That's what I believe.
