Really......
The cost of welfare alone is $750 Billion per year you realize...... what's the bigger problem?

Poverty is the biggest problem so yes, I agree with you. Let's fix the bigger problem by making the bloated 1% pay their fair share for once instead of them riding on the backs of the middle class working man like myself. Americans are ABVIOUSLY tired of listening to country club trust funders crying about poor people from the comfort of their mansions. They'll still be able to purchase that 5th home and you won't seem like an idiot to everyone for following a billionaire's agenda that doesn't include you.

Ooops meant Obviously. Don't want Annie the grammar Nazi to get her hag jowls a flopping...amongst other things.

Ahhhhh yes!!!! Excellent textbook maneuver dividing the epsilons with wealth envy.

The best kept secret we must never let out is that when we tax those "evil" corporations it just makes them the tax collectors. Haaaaaaa HAAAAAAA! And its still the peasants that pay through the nose when they buy all their little widgets. They're actually paying us all KINDS of embedded taxes they'll never realize cause they're too stupid!

Geee whilikers. Why are all these things priced so high? Its a dagum conspiracy I tell ya! Them there corporations got a monopoly I say. Their prices all go up.

<quoted text>Even though I had read about caging years ago, out of curiosity I Googled 'caging voters', here is just one of the many articles from all different kinds of sources;
www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/01/1138661/Vot...
By the way, there's even articles on caging right here in Ohio. They'll stoop to anything to steal elections.
And as for you harping on ID's, most states that pushed for them made sure to make it hard for them to get them. In order to get a photo-id you have to produce a birth certificate. In order to get a copy of your birth certificate you have to have a photo-id, just another small fact that folks like you tend to skip over or ignore.

A smaller fact is that you can contact the hospital where you were born to get your birth certificate.

The question I have is caging illegal or not? If it's not legal, then the matter needs to be settled by authorities. If it is legal, then why don't the Democrats do the same thing? Besides, since people don't bother to contact the polls when they move or die, caging seems to be one method of finding out who is still here or not.

"Secretary of State Jon Husted said Ohio’s duplicate voter registrations have been dramatically reduced, down to just four from more than 340,000 in January of 2011.

More than 7.7 million people are registered to vote in the state.

“Maintaining accurate and up-to-date voter rolls is an ongoing process that is important in helping to ensure greater security and more efficiency in the administration of elections in Ohio,” Husted said in a release.“The success our state has had in cleaning up the voter rolls is one example of how we are making it easier to vote and harder to cheat.”

Husted said that more than 129,500 voters have updated their address online, while the names of nearly 245,000 dead people have been removed from Ohio’s rolls."

Why after 5 years are we still in Afganistan?

To fight terrorists. See...... Democrats are born liars. They tell you we shouldn't be in Afghanistan, they tell you we shouldn't be in Iraq, they tell you they will close down Gitmo if they gain power, they tell you that spying on American citizens is plain wrong. Then when they finally get in power, they do the exact same things as the Republicans did because they know what the Republicans did was the right way of doing things in the first place.

So, you think it was a bad idea when George W. Bush decided to include cell phones in the Lifeline program?
"Lifeline was begun not by President Obama but under Ronald Reagan. It expanded to include cellphone service during the presidency of another Republican, George W. Bush."
"House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) tweeted on Feb. 19:“Nobody should be talking about tax hikes when govt is spending taxpayer dollars on free cell phones.” Lifeline, however, is not funded by taxes; it subsists on fees that are tacked on to most phone bills. That fund subsidizes a number of programs, which in addition to Lifeline include telecommunications service to rural and remote areas and to schools and libraries."

Yes, that was also known as the Al Gore tax if I remember correctly.

I think there is something terribly wrong when the federal government forces private industry to provide social goods for the citizens. That's not the governments place, that's charities place. And forcing one group of people to pay for the non-essential products of another group of people is not charity at all, it's called stealing.

Of course cell phone companies charge their paying users to support Obama Phones. Are they supposed to take the loss? The thing is when government forces the private market into anything, the private market responds. That's why Cleveland Clinic is getting rid of 3,000 employees; because of Obama care. That's why over 16 million Americans lost their health insurance so far. The market is responding to Obama Care and even the Democrats are admitting what a bad idea this is.

The point is what's the difference if the cell phone company charges you on your bill or the government sends you a tax bill for cell phones? Either way, you and I are paying for it.

I met the lady in Georgia doing the research on all those dead people registered to vote in Ohio. Ironically she's originally from Ohio.

Wooo Obama!

So, you opposed the Lifeline program when it brought telephone service to rural areas?

Hey stupider...
show me in the constitution you fools like to spout about
where it says a citizen is not a citizen unless they have a photo ID.
Your ignorance never to ceases to end.
Don't matter what you want, it matters what the law is.
Funny how in Virginia a photo college ID is not supposed to count but a CCW license does.

Actually, in Ohio, a CCW is NOT an acceptable ID.
The 'reasoning' is that it is issued by the county sheriff & NOT the state. HOW GOOFY!! The requirements & procedures were set by the state legislation & the sheriff dept is following state law.
IF someone accepts it to open a bank account, cash a ck,or whatever, they do so with their good graces & common sense.

Yes I am. I'm against a lot of things Bush did. I'm hardly a Bush cheerleader. On the other hand, there are some things I did like about him.

If people in rural areas want telephone service, cable television, internet and so on, they know how they can get it. Why should people in populated areas support anything because people in rural areas don't have it? If they want modern devices and technology and can't get it where they are at, they can move anytime they desire.

I feel the same way about people that live along rivers that flood at least once every ten years. Why should taxpayers bail them out? You want to live by a river, then when the river destroys your belongings or home enough times, you'll move the hell out of there.

But gosh golly, when you git' done talking to yerself', how about them fled overseas to avoid regulation, offshore account tax dodging "job creators"? Holy smokes, their earnings and bonuses have increased exponentially, while us common folk have flatlined. Maybe, by gosh, you are just another corporate fetch boy with a greedy agenda. Yup.

Maybe if those middle class folks had some money in their pockets to spend, the corporations wouldn't flee the country like rats on a sinking ship to get cheap labor to compensate for their bloated desire to cut corners at the cost of humanity.
