I beg your pardon, yes we do! I paid medicare tax, as well as social security tax as well as unemployment tax, out of my paycheck. Then my employer paid me less money than i should have gotten for my service because he had to cover the other half of my tax.

You had better go look again on what is taken out of your paychecks.

As far as dying at a young age, you don't collect a dime if your young, thats a crime in of itself! They steal all of the money that person pays in.

And if you are a property owner like ME, you pay for public education.

That is my point, you pay for all of those things. This social safety-net is something we all pay for. Its not just some handout.

simple they whip out a EBT card and they don't pay taxes on what they buy either

Food stamps and WIC are much more of a farm subsidy than a welfare program.

Wrong. The maximum amount of time an adult can draw it is 2 years unless they have kids. tHen they get to draw it along with the kids until the kids are 18 years old!

True, but what would you have as an alternative. These people don't have kids they cant afford in order to collect welfare, they have them because they are to irresponsible to abstain or use contraception. The moral dilemma that arises for society is that we cant exactly have children living in abject poverty simply because their parents are worthless. Moreover, as I pointed out, we are talking about a very small portion of federal outlays.

What a crock. The only one that ever helped me was coverdale and he died. he is a conservative. The liberals, told me not their problem go ask the welfare department.

The only reason why we even have Medicare and Social Security is liberals and progressives. President Bush was pushed into supporting a Medicare drug benefit by liberals and progressives. The Republican solution to the healthcare crisis is for you just to show up in the emergency room or get a savings account.

I gotta say that those EVIL pharmaceutical executives are doing more for me than any liberal political! the EVIL pharmaceutical companies are the ones who make sure i don't do without my lifesaving drugs. i still pay them for them, but its a reasonable price.

The spend more on advertising and promotion than they do on R&D. Moreover, many of the drugs on the market today were developed with taxpayer funding.

personally i myself don't want anything i don't earn. If i have to suck it out of someone elses pocket, then i do without.

No one is saying that anything is free. I think what moderates and progressives are saying is that there is a better way of doing this. For example, why should Medicare not be able to use its purchasing power to negotiate better prices for prescription drugs for Medicare recipients?

The solution to the folks needing a social safety net is education. Its a crime that in this country people do not take advantage of the free education offered them. A person can go from grade school to 4 years in college and in some cases if their intellegent enough they can go for free all the way to completion. Theres no excuse for not educating ones self. Secondly these same individuals need to educate themelves in a field that will support them instead of going for some obscure field that will never employ them.

I certainly agree with that.

One thing I should point out here seeing as it is now routine to accuse people of being liberals or even communists on worthy. The majority on worthy is extremely-conservative, meaning we have a skewed view of the political spectrum. In Canada, I am conservative; on worthy, I am a left-wing worshipper of karl marx (or so I'm told). Just keep that in mind when telling people they are not moderates, or conservative or whatever. Out there in the real world, they probably are moderates.

This should especially be kept in mind for those of us who are not american. Here in Canada, just about all of the people I know who consider themselves conservatives support our socialized health care for example.

Keilan, you make a pretty good point. Even here in America many 'conservatives' have allowed bits of liberalism to get to them. It gets to the point where true, staunch, conservatives are fairly rare. Then you get a guy like Kilgore who represents conservative values and he looks like an extremist because so many conservatives are moderates. In reality, Kilgore is just trying to espouse conservative values that were in place not so long ago in this country.

The world is becoming 'progressively' more liberal and old school conservatism is viewed as extreme.

That's sad, and needs to be stopped.
