You sure have a lot of racist undertones to your posts.
However, black Americans wouldn't be where they are today if it had been left up to the Democrat Party.
Get some perspective, man.
Carol I realize you are way to fanatical and dense to grasp that your post is racist in nature. When you imply that Blacks aren't smart enough to know who or what to vote for.I'm afraid tis you that is perspective deprived. As a woman you seem oblivious of the way your party treats women, and all minorities..So you are the one lacking in the perspective catagory.

Additionally, the Social Security disability payments that Vedder attacks are difficult to obtain. As Media Matters has documented, the Social Security Administration denies over half of the disability claims it receives. Moreover, the average disabled worker receiving those benefits gets less than $14,000 per year, well below the poverty line.

One of the most glaring omissions in Vedder's op-ed, however, is his failure to mention that a significant reason for the decline in the labor force participation rate is the aging and retiring population. Though the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago wrote that "just under half" of the decline in workforce participation "can be traced to long-running demographic patterns," Vedder chose not to include it.

The CBPP came to a similar conclusion that labor force participation was significantly impacted by baby boomers beginning to retire:

Vedder wrote that "if the government provides food, then the imperative to work is severely reduced." In reality, food stamps have been repeatedly shown to stimulate growth. Moody's Analytics Chief Economist Mark Zandi told Congress in 2008 that food stamps were "the most effective way to prime the economy's pump." Zandi estimated every $1 spent on food stamp payments boosts gross domestic product by $1.73. Food stamp spending is also projected to fall significantly in the coming years, according to data compiled by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP).
Vedder then claimed that extended unemployment benefits amount to "pay[ing] people to stay at home," though multiple studies find that unemployment benefits are stimulative, providing needed demand in the economy when growth is slow. The Congressional Budget Office in January 2010 recommended extending unemployment benefits to stimulate the economy:

First I along with most on here believe little if anything that you have to offer... and even if she were I'm betting she never had a ticket. I did and was up close and personal. I had a great time and really enjoyed every moment of the day, none of your stories are even close to being believable, you are a lonely old insecure creep, and it shows daily.

Hey dem, poor old flack even attempts to use his daughter in order to feel good about himself. We know damn well he would never allow her to attend an Obama function. If she were there it would have been with the mamma who dumped his worthless lying azz years ago.

Try as you might you can no longer shrug off the blatant racism in your Party any more than you can deny your own dark secrets.

<quoted text> The Labor Force Participation Rate hit a 30 year low on January 17th 2013. That means, so you understand, that is the lowest amount of people in the workforce since 1983.
In that case 7.8% unemployment is artificially inflated in that it would be much lower had the size of the workforce remained unchanged.

If you're often wary of saying what you think you'll feel much braver about speaking up today, which is good news if you want to fight your corner or express your point of view.
