      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!               R\%/itt - K5RXT                     ... http://tinyurl.com/mc9zzrw                     --- GoldED+/W32 1.1.5-31012       --- D'Bridge 3.99        * Origin: The Master Baiter Playground for Morons (1:387/22)    |
