elsewhere.

We legally require drug makers to donate 10% of their product -- the people get it for free and the government doesn't foot the bill.
We require doctors to do a certain number of charity hours at a free clinic -- free clinics open, government doesn't pay,
If you make less than poverty line, you don't pay taxes out of your check.
Everyone else pays the same percentage.
People who are on *charity* are actually given foodstuffs, clothing, medicine, etc, and their bills are paid on their behalf.

Joe Lieberman is up for reelection this year, and a lot of democrats aren't happy with his support for the war in Iraq and other Bush policies. Ned Lamont is a more reliable democrat and he will be challenging Lieberman in the Connecticut Democratic primary for the Senate race.

{I asked this same question a few months ago and didn't get much response. I want to see if public opinion has changed since then.}

Even when you buy a can of coke you gotta pay taxes. Besides all those illegals are a gold mine for the goverment, because all those guys that work with fake social securities they cant claim back that money the goverment take. And if they cant claim it the goverment keeps it of course. After a long time the social security administration sends a letter to the employer saying that the social security dont match, but all that time they worked and the money that was taken, they keep it. But of course thats a secret the goverment dont want you to know and they will never face that because it will just show they are stealing and would be a bad image for them.

This appears to be a very common question. I guess it's not unusual due to the fact that we have over 11 MILLION of the parasites in America. Go here to report them and save this link. If you don't have any to report now, you will soon.

the way the world is going, we can't HURT anyones feelings. I understand why, but its getting really weird and we all know it. it makes me sick - alittle bit offensive behavior or verbage is great. -------also, how many of you out there agree or disagree with me and why. -political correctness is wrong in my book. ----------------ie: I hate that people want to say "happy holiday" instead of "merry xmas" ---and some people or religions get their "feelings" hurt-----screw them

The Israeli Ambassador to UN now says the UN through Kofi Annan should apologise to Israel for commenting on his dead peacekeepers. I am getting truly sick of these people's arrogance.

Now before you jump on me for being a heartless miser, consider this: I was raised on foodstamps myself as a child, and I work in an industry that deals with it daily.
Now believe it or not, most of us want the same thing -- we want hungry people fed, and wish for everyone to have a place to live and chance to improve. The difference is the way we go about this. I disagree with the welfare system for these reasons...
I distrust our government to efficently spend money. Look at the stand-up job they do funding everything else.
I see a lot of people who need it that can't get it, and a lot of people who have it waste it.
I think the rules are too lax about what you can buy. Soda, doritos, doughnuts, designer birthday cakes -- these should not be bought with tax dollars.
and other reasons.
the point is, I think welfare/foodstamp system should be reformed.
if you like it the way it is, tell me why. if you wish to see it change, help me offer alternatives.

I worked for a company for seven-years. My forman gets fired for some reason. I thought I was going to get promoted. It didn't happen. A newer worker comes in, gets trained from scratch and then gets promoted. That happened twice. I am single, never married, and have no kids. Is this considered discrimination? I want to know.

The Framers of the Constitution understood “democracy” and “republic” to mean different things. Explain this difference and identify which concept the Framers favored.

Let me explain why I'm against the Illegals. My sisters daughter died when she was 21, 8 years ago from a car accident. A year ago my sister recieves from SS a letter to her daughter about how much she was eligible to collect if she became disabled ( I dont remember what you call the letter but im sure yall have recieved one at some time) Now this letter for was dated for 2004. There was no way her daughter could have worked or paid in for that year since she was dead. After calling the SS office my sister found that someone had stolen her identy. The woman was using her ss number along with her name in california. The lady was deported but not before serving six months in jail and a fine. She claimed the ssn was gotten from the ss website where they put them after you die. My sister was insulted and so was I. I know I will be bashed for this. So be it. This is the reason I cant stand the illegals. Now how would you feel and be really honest.
