    Oh my point still stands on the mount of people who are on foodstamps, while also working.
    Your idea that they can just find your random better paying job, is a joke.

    The "mount" of food stamps, which there is no such thing, and there also no such thing as food stamps anymore genius.

    And there are many jobs out there, good paying jobs for those who are not too lazy to get off their butts and get to work.

    Maybe get an education and come back when you have a slight bit of one.

    I guess that depends on what you call 'affording life', and the capabilities of those involved. Just as one cannot paint everyone who receives assistance as a lazy scum puppy, one cannot also paint everyone who does not to work as deserving of other people's money.

    What is this 'honest days pay' you reference? What is that, exactly.

    Considering the current employment markets, pay rates have been raising in virtually every single sector, and I haven't seen anyone making 'minimum wage' in a long time.

    A honest day wage is...
    A pay that gives food on the table, a roof on your head, kids in school, clothes on your back, money in the bank for retirement etc.
    How hard is this to grasp? A millions of people need a handout for...FOOD ... WHILE they have a job.

    So the taxpayer should subsidize inadequate compensation? I have an idea. Let's let the market drive up wages and stop bringing in unskilled and uneducated immigrants.

    Being a known trump hater I suppose you are referring to him

    But he is just exercising the legal powers of the office he was elected to

    I gave up the hate in October.. I no longer post the penis head trump or the diarrahea stained underwear that looks like him pictures

    The hatred of Trump was making me ill.. I don't dislike the guy.. I don't dislike you

    I am concerned the policies are destroying America.. again..

    I am seeing Dubya Vision

    You cannot argue that volatility has increased tremenduously.. The rate of winning and losing has increased.. Perhaps it is good.. The 1% will figure out the real power is with the yellow vests

    Is THATTTTTTTTTTTT what Trump is doing, Seriously?

    he is just exercising the legal powers of the office he was elected to

    You are trying to sell, that Trump is SIMPLY using the legitimate power he has to affect good things for his country?

    God Goid almighty, have you NO probity at all? Trump is systematically dismantling all social and moral controls. We will be dealing with UNKNOWN effects, AROUND THE GLOBE. For years. BAd, in unknown ways. Thanks, TRUMP.

    Trump is a threat to global security.. indeed

    Maybe Prince Mad Bat Shyt had Khashoggi dismembered with a bone saw.. Maybe He didn't (He did)

    Trump can never understand anything.. Maybe is like his favorite word

    Less than TSA people. You wanted to point out a universal "fact" without any universal input. I just pointed that out. Sorry it went over your head.

    It is sad when you are not sure if your President cares about the United States or not

    Unbelievable that we are now investigating if Trump is in fact on Vladdy Daddy's payroll

    The exisitence of the concept is just beyond my comprehension.. Just the fact the question exists bothers me

    And that requires a person capable of putting an honest day of work, which too many are not capable of doing, as such they are paid what they are worth and should not be subsidized for their problem.

    Many times because they are living way over their means, $300 a month for cable, $200 per month for a smartphone, lots of children, a car with $2K worth of rims on it, $500 a month for beer, a bag of pot a week and on and on and on.

    I take you at your word about getting over the emotional reaction so many liberals feel about trump

    As a trump supporter we will just have to disagree on the issues

    And by that I include everything I believe in

    Because I cant find any common ground between pro and anti trumpsters

    We keep covering the same ground - pros and cons - on the illegal alien problem

    Trump voters have been pushing this issue for 30 years

    As the 1986 amnesty for 3 million illegals was signed into law proponents ptomised all Americans that we would never, NEVER need to do it again

    Yet here we are with maybe 30 million illegals demanding a new amnesty

    And we are still hearing the same old objections to our ideas and at the same time to same old tired big ideas that will be forgotten as soon as the new amnesty is signed

    So employers need to pony up so people can live in the style they prefer? Do you not see a problem with that?

    Employees, or individuals to be more exact, are responsible for their lives... not employers, and not the government. They want better pay, then they need to do something that makes them WORTH more. And before you get all het up, think of the sources for self improvement that are already paid for... libraries, internet, and for a few bucks, adult education classes, mentor groups, etc. Some things don't even take additional education, all they take is initiative, taking on additional responsibilities, or even more hours.

    If someone has a common skill set that many other people have, then their skillset doesn't have top value in the employment market. If they up their skills to the next level, then they become more valuable (higher pay), and on up... kinda why it's called 'climbing the ladder'. If an individual doesn't improve their skillset and stays at the same level of pay, exactly whose 'fault' is that?

    The fault lies squarely on the shoulders of the person stuck in a rut.

    And many times this once again comes down to laziness.
