Where is the fraud? They own (until the patent expires (if ever)) the delivery system. Are you suggesting that their should be some regulation of the price they're allowed to charge for the use of their property. What are you, a c****e?

"giving free stuff away" like tax credits to corporations?

Independents v**e in more e******ns than Democratic faithful. Democrats just v**e early and often, even the dead ones.

The PATRIOTS would regroup and come back kicking the kommies ass.
Hmmm. Sort of like Superbowl 51.

LOL. If Corporations could only v**e as we do, what a mess we would have on our hands. After all, the SCOTUS said they were people. That's a sticky wicket. I was thinking more like Cell phones and health care, welfare, and such that that is given to the individual citizens.

You sound like you come from a place where the government thinks and acts as though it owns everything and the rest of us are here to serve the government (That vaguely sounds like the utopian dream the progressives and socialist have for America). The government gives away what isn't theirs to give. It's called redistribution. There is no such thing as free stuff. Tax credits are incentives to change our behavior just as taxes are. To begin with, it is already our or their money. Why shouldn't someone be entitled to keep the fruit of their labor rather than share it with those unwilling to earn for themselves? I have no problem sharing with the people who can't help or do for themselves through no fault of their own. And naturally, we need a government to carry out certain functions. But we don't need a bloated bureaucracy and a bigger than necessary government that thinks all wealth flows through and from it.

I'm not sure what that would prove other than that the percentage of people of color who live in poverty in America is higher than that of "w****s". I don't doubt that. Receiving public assistance is probably a very good indicator of poverty. Do you really think that doing away with public assistance will end poverty? But then, you don't want to do away with poverty; you just want to make sure the poor cannot rely on government for help (regardless of ethnicity).

How about a comparison of generational wealth and income?

dtucker300 Loc: Vista, CA

How did you make a leap to that conclusion about not wanting to do away with poverty? There are different kinds of poverty and different reasons for poverty. One size does not fit all. We have been helping the impoverished since the Great Society, yet the numbers remain about the same. There will always be poor among us.

Yes, how about Generational wealth and Income? It is very difficult to accumulate any wealth if you are not earning money and fail to save or invest. A distinct disadvantage. But opportunity is there and that is why we attract so many immigrants. However, the income brackets are not static, People move up and down them throughout their lives.

Government give a ways help prevent working and thinking for yourselves.

Yep, all my relatives were Republican until they died. Now they v**e kommiecrat.

dtucker300 Loc: Vista, CA

LOL Yes, but how many times in each e******n?

nwtk2007 Loc: Texas

I am.

Then figure this. What's 90% of 1000 and what's 40% of 100.

nwtk2007 Loc: Texas

It's called price gouging. It shouldn't occur in healthcare. Just my opinion. It is certainly not allowed in banking. What is surprising to me is that the insurance companies were paying it, especially in light of how the gamed the system through her father, the congressman.

Mikeyavelli

The government is not a charity or a hospital. In America, the constitution enumerates the duties of the federal government, and there aren't many.

Mikeyavelli

They are among the most active dead people in America.
Tirelessly k*****g themselves to v**e early, often, and kommiecrat.
