   Greetings BOOB!   
      
    HF>>>> New favorite quote, replacing Mrs. Thatcher's "The trouble with   
    HF>>>> Socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's   
    HF>>>> money."   
      
    BK>>> An old one,   
      
   Duh!   
      
    TR>> But still all too true.   
      
    BK>  Actually, since fully socialistic countries have very little   
    BK>  welfare, but near full employment, its not at all true.   
      
   Wrong.   
      
    TR>> Here's some alarming news....   
      
    TR>> There are 108,592,000 Americans on welfare! Thats over 35%!   
      
    BK>  Which is BS.   
      
   According to the Census Bureau, 35.4 percent of all 309,467,000 people   
   living in the United States at that time were on welfare.   
      
   http://cnsnews.com/commentary/terence-p-jeffrey/354-percent-109631000-welf   
   are   
      
   The only BS I see has your initials before it.   
      
    TR>> Over 92,000,000 Americans are unemployed.   
      
    BK>  Actually, to be considered unemployed, you have to want to be   
    BK>  employed.   
      
   Which is a twist on words to suit your agenda. If you were working, then   
   became unemployed, you're unemployed. If you were working and then became   
   unemployed, your unemployment benefits have run out, and you're still not   
   working, you're still unemployed.   
      
    TR>> Around 11,472,000 have left the work force.   
      
    BK>  Yep. Unless you favor slave labor that's not a bad thing in and   
    BK>  of itself.   
      
   At least slaves got to eat and for the most part, had a roof over their   
   heads that they didn't have to pay rent for. That's a good thing.   
      
    TR>> About 58,000,000 Americans are on Social   
    TR>> Security...SSI...Disability ...survivors benefits.   
      
    BK>  Yep. Most on Social Security.   
      
   Which is as it should be. Some 2800 of those are also on disability.   
      
   SOURCES: Social Security Administration, Master Beneficiary Record and   
   Supplemental Security Record, 100 percent data.   
      
    TR>> The total of all that is about 270,639,000.   
      
    BK>  Hey, isn't that the white population of this country? Is he   
    BK>  saying all the white people in this country are out of work?   
      
    BK>  Actually, what he said is not only BS, it's dumb BS. I just   
    BK>  wonder if he really believes it.   
      
   I wonder where your facts are that can show any difference.   
      
   Didn't expect so.   
      
    TR>> According to the last census, there's around 316 million   
    TR>> people in the US.   
      
    BK>  Round bout.   
      
   That's what the word, 'about' means.   
      
    TR>> So the 58,000,000 figure should probably be cut by about 15   
    TR>> or 18 million to allow for those who are fraudulently   
    TR>> collecting some form of benefit from the Social Security   
    TR>> fund they aren't entitled to.   
      
    BK>  Not likely.   
      
   As long as Dems are in charge.   
      
      
       Have a fucked up day!
