The
Lifeline Assistance Program - Republican "welfare queen" meme created by Ronald Reagan and embraced by 47% haters everywhere notwithstanding -
is a good way to spend our tax dollars. It has existed, by the way, for subsidizing landlines of the poor (especially the elderly), for decades. Nobody has landlines any more now it's cellphones. 911 access is a good thing, no?
You ever read the detail lines of your telephone bills? Or your heating bills?
The current Republican Party meme of self-rightous demonizing of "the poor" over how "the government" spends "my" tax dollars on those unworthy Americans is beyond absurd, when that government just killed thousands of Americans over the Bush years with our tax dollars.
Well, it's not really that absurd, it's a deliberate distraction plan on the part of the "haves", like Romney (and Ronald Reagan) to turn their base against their fellow Americans - the old "divide and conquer" - while the wealthiest have stolen the profits of this country over the past 50-60 years.
Thanks for playing along! The "those freeloading welfare queens" meme is just all part of this big picture in America:
Now, we also have "freeloading welfare unions" with those evil firefighters, poiicemen and school teachers! Take their pensions, they don't deserve them! They get paid for doing nothing, those lazy government employees!
Don't look at Bush giving massive tax cuts to the wealthy that bankrupted this country by stopping our income - you got a $10 a week tax cut, little American - and be sure to hate those welfare queens! Oh, look ... there are also MUSLIMS!
