Poor people and the unemployed dont pay anything at all into the system. Over 100 million are just sitting at home collecting welfare. Only those that work hard, the top few pay into those big government programs that redistribute the wealth to those that don't work hard. Until we get these people back to work and collecting a paycheck, America is on it's way to a great depression.

Scott Brown: Push to register welfare recipients to vote is ‘disturbing’ Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) on Friday accused the Commonwealth of Massachusetts of favoring his Democratic rival, Elizabeth Warren, because they complied with a 1993 bipartisan federal law that requires states to provide voter registrations to people seeking public assistance like welfare. New York-based think tank Demos in May sued Massachusetts and eight other states for not complying with the National Voter Registration Act. The state responded by sending out more than 500,000 voter registrations to welfare recipients at taxpayers’ expense. On Friday, Brown sent out a statement demanding that Warren reimburse the state for $276,000 because her daughter, Amelia Warren Tyagi, chaired the board at Demos. “It’s been disturbing for a lot of people to learn that the state’s welfare department undertook an unprecedented voter registration drive at the behest of Elizabeth Warren’s daughter and the organization she represents,” Brown said. “It is clear that this was done to aid Elizabeth Warren’s Senate campaign. Professor Warren has more than $13 million dollars in her campaign account, and if she wants to mail every welfare recipient a voter registration form, she should do so at her own expense, not taxpayers’.” “She should immediately reimburse the state for the cost of this mailing and stop playing politics with the taxpayers’ money.” But Warren told WFXT that Demos was working to enforce the law before her daughter joined the organization. “No one like to see attacks on their family,” the Democratic candidate said. “But this is about a law that’s been in place for 20 years.” Warren campaign senior adviser Doug Rubin explained to NECN that Brown was outraged over the voter registrations because welfare recipients were more likely to register as Democrats. “He believes that if a certain group of voters vote, that he’s not going to have as good a chance to win this election – and I think that is part of what this is about,” Rubin insisted. In a statement released on Wednesday, Brown acknowledged that registering welfare recipients would only hurt his bid to stay in office. “It means that I’m going to have to work that much harder to get out my pro-jobs, pro-free enterprise message,” Brown said. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/08/10/sc...-is-disturbing/

Every dime these Folks have immediately goes back into this economy.. They are not the problem... Never ever were either.
You GOTTA be kidding me! You're one of those that buys the notion that food stamps and welfare are GOOD for the economy? Oh, god, where to start. On second thought, i won't. You can't be serious. Govt. entitlements spend SOOO much of our hard earned $. I'm just fuking speechless. shocked that anyone who's not retarded could rationalize such logic. Wow, oh wow!

Republican voter suppression efforts are deadly serious Early voting is being stabbed to death in Ohio, and Republicans are holding the knives. On Friday night’s episode of “The Rachel Maddow Show,” the MSNBC host explained that the state’s last three days of early voting, traditionally a time when churches and other urban community groups mobilize voters, have been canceled by Jon Husted, Ohio’s Republican Secretary of State. And that will mean longer lines in Democratic-leaning cities come election day. President Barack Obama’s campaign has sued to overturn Husted’s decision, which he justified to a conservative radio host by saying, “We’re not 7/11.” As if that weren’t enough, the times for polls to be open during early voting has also turned into a partisan meltdown, with Republicans supporting extended hours and weekend voting in conservative-leaning areas, but closing them early and restricting them to just five days a week in more liberal communities. “Each county’s election board in Ohio’s 88 counties is evenly split between Republicans and Democrats,” Maddow explained. “In counties that tend to vote for the Republican candidate, like Warren and Butler counties, where John McCain won in ’08 by big margins — in those counties, Republicans and Democrats on the elections boards are voting together to allow early voting on nights and weekends. So that means more voting in Republican counties. “But in the counties that tend to go Democratic, like Cuyahoga and Franklin and Summit, where Barack Obama won by huge margins in 2008, the Republicans on those election boards are voting against early voting on nights and weekends. And guess who gets the break for the tie votes in those counties?” None other than Jon Husted. “He is personally intervening to make sure there are fewer early voting hours on nights and weekends in Democratic counties, while there are more early voting hours on nights and weekends in Republican counties,” Maddow concluded. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/08/11/ma...deadly-serious/
