I have two comments about what Rush said, though. First, regarding retirement, the checks come out of a fund that the employer set aside for you. The employer gets the money by paying you a little less and then setting that money aside to earn more money (for example, by making interest). Thus, the average retiree sponsored his own retirement income; the employer isn't really paying anything. Second, the problem with America isn't the Democrats or socialism. The problem with America lies in her abandoning the God and the godly values that made her great. Some of those values such as caring for the poor are found among Democrats, although they have a twisted implementation of those values. More of those values, such as self-reliance, are found among Republicans, although they have been worn down by the manipulations of the Democrat-controlled media. The further we wander from Christ, however, the more rapidly both parties abandon their values and the more rapidly both parties become corrupt. Conservatism is merely a band-aid on a gushing artery.

People used food stamps to buy cigarettes and booz. Able-bodied people pretended to be unable to work so that they could keep those welfare checks coming. I grew up in the second poorest county in the entire US. In my hometown the situation you describe was pretty commonplace. People used food stamps to buy cigarettes and booz.

Last I heard, the liberals were still trying to get rid of talk radio because liberals don't do well on talk radio like the conservatives. Many people on welfare will never get out of welfare because of liberal policies. Once a person gets on welfare, they have to keep qualifying for welfare to gain support. As long as they are provided for by welfare, they will try to keep their circumstances right to maintain that support. I love Rush Limbaugh!
