My tax cut is NOT welfare!
Will not come out of the pocket of other Americans. And I resent the implication that it is being "taken" from wealthy people who "deserve" the money more than I do.

Just sayin'.

1. You will spend your tax cut at businesses owned by rich people. n/t

2. Probably
Which is another reason why, when you help the middle class, the rich get richer.

4. You spent your "welfare" on beer again, didn't you?
You know that's why you can't have your "welfare" it's to save you from drinking it away.

:sarcasm:

6. Its misinformation
Obama is supporting a payroll tax cut, which everyone pays. The right wing is turning this into an income tax argument. Oddly, all their tax policies benefit the wealthy (the AMT, income tax, dividend tax, estate tax, corporate tax). A payroll tax cut that benefits the middle class is welfare though. It'd be less infuriating if there weren't 100 million americans stupid enough to believe the RW talking points.

8. Bingo! Good summation.
And the 100 million stupids really are to blame. Their leaders would get nowhere if they didn't have so many sheep.

7. I'm happy to take from the rich to give to those in need. The Q? What would Lemmy do?
EAT THE RICH!

They say music is the food of love,
Let's see if you’re hungry enough,
Take a bite, take another, just like a good boy would…
Get a sweet thing on the side,
Home cooking, homicide,
Side order, could be your daughter,
Finger licking good…


Come on baby, eat the rich,
Put the bite on the son of a bitch,
Don't mess up, don't you give me no switch…
C'mon baby and eat the rich,
C'mon baby and eat the rich…

Sittin' down in a restaurant,
Tell the waiter just what you want,
Is that the meat, you wanted to eat?,
How would you ever know?…
Hash browns an' bacon strips,
I love the way that you lick your lips,
No fooling, I can see you drooling,
Feel the hunger grow…


Come on baby, eat the rich,
Put the bite on the son of a bitch,
Don't mess up, don't you give me no switch…
C'mon baby and eat the rich,
C'mon baby and eat the rich…
C'mon honey, here’s your supper,
C'mon baby, bite that sucka!…



I’ll eat you, baby you eat me,
Eat two, baby get one free,
Shetland pony, or extra pepperoni,
Just pick up the phone…

Eat Greek, or eat Chinese,
Eat salad, or scarf up grease,
You're on the shelf, you eat yourself,
Come on, and bite my bone…


Come on baby, eat the rich,
Bite down on the son of a bitch,
Don't mess around, don't you give me no switch…
C'mon baby and eat the rich,
C'mon baby and eat the rich…
Sittin’ here in a hired tuxedo,
You wanna see my bacon torpedo!…

9. My friend in Louisiana tells me "welfare" is often used as code there for race.
