Or, people who don't rely on welfare or medicaid, but whom Jack
doesn't approve of receiving SSDI because his crystal ball says
they're too healthy to get it. Also in Jack's world: Once on
disability, always on disability.

Once on disability = always a leach. Even if you can't work because of a
disability it's your family's responsibility or the responsibility of
church
and charities if you have no family members. Why has it become your RIGHT
to
force me as a taxpayer to take care of you because you are disabled, in
many
cases self-inflected either by stupidity or sloth. (I use 'you'
figuratively
speaking this isn't necessarily meant as a personal attack.)

How about you liberals reach into your OWN pockets for money and take
your
filthy hands out of mine?

Why is it conservatives' arguments always seem to assume liberals
don't practice what they preach? *Everyone* who works pays into Social
Security, not just Republicans. I pay into it; disabled people (in
most cases) paid into it before they became disabled.

You don't like welfare and disability; I'm not particularly happy
about how much money we spend on the military, particularly on the war
in Iraq, where we never should have gone to begin with.

I'm not happy about underwriting corporate welfare, or the fact that
my tax dollars were partially used to subsidize year-end bonuses for
the financial "geniuses" who were largely responsible for the current
state of our economy.

We individual taxpayers don't get to pick and choose how our dollars
are spent. We're all stuck paying for some programs and policies we
don't personally support.

Why is that, Marcia? Well, the answer is simple. It is liberals and
socialists who forced these welfare programs on everybody. Conservatives
want nothing to do with them but are forced to contribute anyway.

So when I say take your filthy hands out of my pocket and reach into your
own instead you liberals say, "**** you - we're gonna make everybody pay
whether they want to or not." In other words charity doesn't start at home
for a liberal. Charity starts by reaching into somebody else's pocket. It's
all too easy being generous with somebody else's money, isn't it. But when
it comes to donating your own you liberals are such a stingy lot.http://digg.com/politics/Conservativ...e_30_more_than...

That's the difference.

Okay, Greg. Take my money out of Iraq. Get it out of the pockets of
the right-wing bankers who tanked the economy. Give me back my portion
of the money that went to the oil companies who continue making record
profits every quarter, without reinvesting in refineries, etc., and
instead invest in green energy.

See where I'm going with this? The Republicans initiated a few
programs/policies/wars I don't approve of, but still have to finance.

You are aware of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act
of 1996 (PRWOR, aka "welfare reform") that took place under Clinton,
limiting the amount of time an individual can be eligible for welfare,
and enforcing work and/or education requirements on most recipients,
right?
