I don't think anyone has a complaint about a single mom with three

there isn't already) a limit to how much assistance she receives based
on the number of kids she has. Hold the fathers responsible and
accountable.

As far as vacations ... the government has no place mandating vacations
in the private work sector. The USA is *not* Europe and to compare our
work culture to European countries isn't meaningful. Every company I
knew of during my working career included paid vacations for full time
employees, BTW.

There are many, many Europeans who have immigrated permanently to the
USA or are here on long term green cards pursuing a career in the
States. I know several and there's a reason they come here.







As I stated, American corporations rule and they are intent on pushing
workers back towards serfdom.

My status, your status and/or anyone elses status is not the point or

"Corporate America" as being the enemy of their employees in terms of
pay, benefits and well-being. There are plenty of examples of companies
who value their employees ... (after all, the company *is* the
employees), who encourage and make available opportunities for growth
and earning power for those inclined and modivated to succeed.

I've always noticed that those who complain the most about employers are
are usually those who perform their tasks to the basic minimum
requirements, simply putting in the hours and then bitching that they
aren't paid what they think they deserve. "I exist, therefore I am owed."

Most places are prevented from testing welfare recipients. Why? Maybe
Florida has the correct idea. Test and reduce welfare drug purchases! Go
to most other major welfare centers, ie. Chicago, Detroit, and DC you will
most likely find high drug use. Hell the mayor of DC was a druggie.

of the world makes, working.

we don't even mandate a modest vacation with pay
each year, as virtually every other modern, civilized nation does.

Mostly the ones who are going broke. Do you really want us to emulate
France and Italy?



1. What's "public assistance" amount to in your neck of the woods
for a
single mom with three dependent kids?

2. No, not "mostly the ones who are going broke." Most modern
civilized
nations have mandated paid vacation periods for private and public
sector workers.

No one has done more since the 1980s to **** over this country than
the
rich.


I don't think anyone has a complaint about a single mom with three
dependent kids collecting assistance. However, there should be (if
there isn't already) a limit to how much assistance she receives based
on the number of kids she has. Hold the fathers responsible and
accountable.

As far as vacations ... the government has no place mandating vacations
in the private work sector. The USA is *not* Europe and to compare our
work culture to European countries isn't meaningful. Every company I
knew of during my working career included paid vacations for full time
employees, BTW.

There are many, many Europeans who have immigrated permanently to the
USA or are here on long term green cards pursuing a career in the
States. I know several and there's a reason they come here.







As I stated, American corporations rule and they are intent on pushing
workers back towards serfdom.

Yawn.



Well, sure, you're one of the 1% and a retiree.


My status, your status and/or anyone elses status is not the point or the
issue. I object to your continuous and broad brush portrait of
"Corporate America" as being the enemy of their employees in terms of
pay, benefits and well-being. There are plenty of examples of companies
who value their employees ... (after all, the company *is* the
employees), who encourage and make available opportunities for growth and
earning power for those inclined and modivated to succeed.

I've always noticed that those who complain the most about employers are
are usually those who perform their tasks to the basic minimum
requirements, simply putting in the hours and then bitching that they
aren't paid what they think they deserve. "I exist, therefore I am owed."

Sort of a union mentality.

Thank you, Mitt!

Luddite supported O'Bama in two elections. How can you call him Mitt,
unless you are acknowledging that Luddite finally saw the light and
realized that he got snookered by O'Bama.

It's a free market economy: If you don't like your employer, go
somewhere else or start your own business. I did that several times
until finding a good fit between my expectations and an employers
willingness to pay for skills. You just have to find a place where
you're appreciated, and that place is not necessarily going to be in

And to even consider for a second that harry represented the facts
properly and honestly would be pretty foolish... Just sayin'.

There does seem to be a bit of misdirection if not pure bull**** in
Harry's cut and paste rant.
A guy who graduates high school at the top of his class and performed
as well in undergrad school does not sound like an "affirmative
action" student.
His mother worked at least 2 jobs most of his life and concentrated on
his education.

Harry must be profiling when he assumes there was that much public
assistance. Maybe he is just prejudiced against poor black people.


It's been documented. If you are that interested, it is easy enough to
find. Here's an interesting quote from Carson himself:

Carson, in his book, tells how his grades improved tremendously when a
government program provided him with free eyeglasses because he could
barely see. Not only that, in “Gifted Hands” we read this nugget: “By
the time I reached ninth grade, mother had made such strides that she
received nothing but food stamps. She couldn’t have provided for us and
kept up the house without that subsidy.”




Dr. Carson is an example of what those programs are intended to do. Not
all will become neurosurgeons but the programs are intended to give
motivated people an opportunity. Unfortunately not all take advantage
of the government programs and the become dependent on them for life.

So which one of the leftist blogs/news outlets that you subscribe to
sent you that data sheet on Carson? Can only mean that the Dems are
becoming a little concerned with Hilary's waning popularity.

Doubt Krause will answer your question. Plagiarism is his style.

"Hate" is one of those words low-intelligence right-wingers toss around
easily in an attempt to project their primitive feelings and thought
processes onto others. I don't hate Dr. Carson. I don't even dislike
him. He seems to be a retired physician who in a long and productive
