Quote by Romney campaign official to ABC News regarding the dishonesty of their "Obama cut Work requirement for Welfare
"We're not going to let Fact Checking dictate how we run our campaign."
I think we're in trouble here.

So Brown poli sci profs think all welfare recipients are black ? What a racist fool !!

Chris Matthews thinks all food stampers are black too. Why is every black advocate pasty white, by the way?

It's pretty astonishing how distorted the perceptions of welfare recipients are, particularly along racial lines. The greatest number of beneficiaries of welfare benefits in the United States BY FAR are, and always have been, poor white children. Nonetheless, a majority of Americans think that most welfare benefits go to poor urban blacks.

Must be those 20" rims.

This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future she's worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big government state that she's being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion.
This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco , TX , Nov 18, 2011
PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .
Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.
Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal legations. Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the "common good.."
Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.
If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.
AND While you are on Govt subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov't welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

The odd thing is that when her boyfriend dumps her after he finds out she's pregnant while simultaneously losing her job, she won't even think about this essay she wrote. She will stick her hand out like everyone else and assume that there's nothing wrong with it because she 'really needs it' (unlike those that she writes about).

Tell that to Chris Matthews. For him food stamps=blacks because he can milk it politically.
