so much of liberal ideology rests on entitlements in the form of hand outs. Totally ridiculous that you find that justifiable

let's not forget about corp welfare & farm subsidies. Handouts = handouts, you focus on receiver I guess.

yup. And not everyone gets tuituon, car or roof "handouts" from their family.

so the taxpayers are a substitute for a family? Is your local congressman your child's godparent? Great logic

It's fine to demand sacrifices from the poor, but God forbid we ask the same of drug companies and health care providers.

Poor people need better lobbyists, I guess.

. And an oil well in the backyard. Tobacco in front yard. Then, Christians will deem them worthy enough to live.

When black people are poor, it's their fault. When white people are poor, it's the government's and economy's fault.

.@greeneneefe @johnlegend You mean white people & Gov blame blacks for blacks being poor; poor whites blame blacks for whites being poor.

It's necessary for the wealthy to create the image of the poor as lazy takers so they can justify their exploitation of them.

.@johnlegend where was your indignation when Obama said the same thing? It's just a fact: some people have dumb fiscal priorities.

he's speaking to a false, partisan narrative. Thoughtless and embarrassing to play so ignorant. @johnlegend

Public education is a quantifiable failure. And no, they don't cut a single "entitlement" program.

so how do you quantify the failure of public schools, exactly?

Competitiveness and preparedness for available opportunities of it's graduates. Pretty easy. @DoTheLocalThing

are you talking about grade school or college?
