Ask them the question they cannot answer. Ask them who pays for their phone? Who pays for their house? Who pays for their welfare EBT card? Who pays for their “free” stuff?

And when they answer, “The rich people”, or something similar, then ask them this;

Who’s gonna pay for it when the “rich people” decide enough is enough and quit working?

Freeloaders like that are exactly the type of people we were warned about voting themselves largesse from the public treasury. And exactly the type of people that liberal/progressives tell us don’t exist.

She is the poster child for obama. either ignorant, unintelligent or just plain stupid. – and hey lady, my taxes are paying for your phone. get off your ass and get a job.

Modern day vote buying and using people who don’t realize they are being used.

That woman needs a sign that says

“I am part of the 47%”

Where do these “free cell phones” come from? The program is called Lifeline, established in 1984 was originally created to subsidize landline phone service for low income Americans, funded by government-collected telecommunication fees, paid by consumers. In 2008, the program was expanded to support cell phones which quickly escalated the cost of the program. In 2008 the program cost $772 million, but by 2011 it cost $1.6 billion.
Obama did NOT give this idiot a FREE phone.

She actually makes more sense than Obama’s supporters who post here, she doesn’t have to make stuff up or twist reality like a kaleidoscope until it looks the way she like it, she is purely logical and honest.

And you wondered what liberal1 looked like and how smart she was? Now you know.

BTW, SEIU labor union bought this demonstration by paying each attendant $11 an hour. More than this chick ever made per hour in her life, legitimatley that is.

Bet she’d be for this too

In keeping with the spirit of buying votes, now Biden is promising more free sh*t. . . well at least free sh*t inspections:

I got a video that directly correlates to that one:
http://youtu.be/CYG6wDO3XVs

@JustAl:

Even if I need one, that will make me NOT vote for you. That’s like offering a free root canal.

http://m.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/09/just-how-racist-obama-phone-video/57353/

The Obama Phone video belongs to a genre popular on conservative blogs in which poor people, usually black, confirm conservatives’ worst 47-percent fears by saying they can get something for nothing because Obama’s in office. The message is, “Here’s what Obama’s supporters really look like.”

The standout in the category is “Obama money”: Back in October 2009, big lines formed formed for Detroit housing assistance applications after the city underestimated how many people would show up to apply. The scene was chaotic,and local TV reported there were rumors that $3,000 checks would be handed out.

The meme on rightwing blogs became that it was an angry mob in search of “Obama money.” A Detroit radio station interviewed people in line for “Obama money.” One woman says, “I don’t know where he got it from but he’s giving it to us. … O-BA-MA O-BA-MA!” Rush Limbaugh excerpted the audio, saying, “This is the model citizen in Barack Obama’s vision.” He continued:

“These are the people who would be wealthy and rich today were it not for the fact that the achievers of this society since this country was founded stole everything they had. And so Obama looks at these people as victims of an unjust and immoral country, and by God, he’s going to make sure that they think he’s making it all good for them. And they all do. Dumb, uninformed, shockingly, saddeningly stupid, the model citizen for Barack Obama and the Democrat Party.”

Drudge’s only commentary with the Obama Phone video is “OBAMA HAS MY VOTE, HE GAVE ME A FREE PHONE,” but the conservative internet quickly picked up a broader electoral theme: this is what the 47 percent — the people Mitt Romney referred to as “dependent upon government” at a secretly taped fundraiser — looks like.

@Tom:

OK, I agree with the liberals that we should give those who are already mooching off the taxpayer a free cell phone. Cell phones are cheap, cheap, cheap to make, no not Blackberries or I-phones, just a simple, basic cell phone. So give them a cell phone but no cell phone service. If they want to talk on the cell phone the taypayer provided they can just not buy cigarettes or booze with their EBT cards and instead, pay for a cheap cell plan.

How’s that work for you, Tom?

We know someone who had one of those phones. You are allowed up to 250 minutes of free service per month. The lady on SSDI was upset that she only got 250 minutes. She claimed,” That’s not enough time.” So she got her own plan instead.

The woman in the video is actually getting paid $11.00 from my understanding. So, essentially, if they take taxes out of her paycheck, she’s probably subsidizing it herself. They don’t cost much anyway. But my point is, even she found a job. That should give people some motivation to get out there and look.

I just don’t think they really understanding what’s going on (except that they think it’s free – it’s not, somebody’s paying for it) and Howard Stern’s recent visit on the streets of NY to ask voters some questions really prove this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeJbOU4nmHQ

why those people don’t have any clues?
it’s because the OBAMA SO CALLED AGENCIES TRAVEL MILES TO SELL OBAMA PROMISES,
TO THE ONES WHO DON’T CARE AS LONG AS THEY GET THEIR CHECKS, BUT THE MONEY IS RUNNING OUT AND THE CHECKS WILL STOP ANY TIME, THEN THEY WILL CRY BECAUSE THEY HAVE OBAMA BUT NO MORE GOODIES,
THEY BETTER BE SAFE WITH MITT ROMNEY AND PAUL RYAN WHICH ARE THE WIZARD IN HOW TO FIX THE WORSE SITUATION COMING SOON,
THE OBAMA CAMP IS SAYING THAT PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE ECONOMY AND STILL WANT TO VOTE FOR OBAMA, NO NOT SO, THE PEOPLE WILL DECLARE MITT ROMNEY A WINNER, IN NOVEMBER BECAUSE SOME OF THE 47/CENT NEED THEIR CHECKS TO SURVIVE, AND OBAMA IS RUINING AMERICA BY SENDING MONEY BORROWED AS BILLIONS TO HELP THE MUSLIMS WIN THEIR GOAL OF CONQUERING ALL THE WORLD INCLUDING AMERICA, WEAKENING HIS MILITARY BY THE DAYS,
AND WEAKENING THE MILITARY BY HAVING THEM KILLED BY THE MUSLIMS,
AMERICA YOU BETTER WAKE UP, YOU ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO TAKE OBAMA FOR ANOTHER TERM, HIS PLAN IS TO DESTROY AMERICA AND LET THE MUSLIMS IN THE WHITE HOUSE RULE
WITH KILLING AMERICANS IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY, COMING SOONER THAN YOU THINK,
BECAUSE NOBODY AT THE WHITE HOUSE IS PROTECTING AMERICA, AND THE BRAVES ARE GETTING
CRIPPLE BY THOSE CLUSTER BOMBS THEY BURYING UNDERGROUND AND KILLED IN THE BACK,
BY THE AFGHANS COWARD MILITARY THEY TRAINED TO LEARN HOW TO PROTECT THEIR FAMILY
DON’T BET ON OBAMA, HE IS BROKEN HEARTH AND MAD AND DEPRESS, BY HIS BEST FRIENDS WHO BURN HIS IMAGE OUT OF HATE, FOR THE WORLD TO SEE, HE WON’T RECOVER FROM THIS ONE

@Obama Nation No More!:

The concept behind free cell phone service is that it allows those who are low income, and have no land line, to be able to dial 911 in the case of an emergency. Bottom line? There is no reason to provide anyone with free minutes for emergency calls. The Federal Government requires all cell phones, both digital and analog, to maintain 911 capabilities even if you no longer have cell phone service. I can pull out my old cell phone, put batteries in it and dial 911, even though I now have a new cell phone and a new carrier.

So, considering that all cell phones on the market now have “pinging” abilities so that the location of the cell phone can be detected by emergency services, what is the purpose of giving anyone free minutes since even without them, they can dial 911? It is just another redistribution of wealth scam.

So, if you are not inclined to take care of yourself and have zip ambition, you can get a free place to live, free medical care, free food, free utilities, an EBT card that allows you do withdraw cash from it for free cigarettes or beer, or even in some cases, drugs, and a free cell phone. What is next? Free TVs? Can be gotten by using your EBT card. Free cars? Free clothing from Nieman Marcus so you won’t feel like you don’t dress as well as the people who work their tails off?

Where does it end?

Retireo5 It ends when the marauding Muslims overun us and put us under Sharia Law. I’ve been reading your rants for over a year and can only conclude you are one crazy old gal.lol

Semper Fi

@Richard Wheeler:

Think it can’t happen, Rich? Perhaps even the protests in Dearborn[istan], Michigan were not enough to wake you up to the reality that when it comes to Muslims, even those in the U.S., their religion (if that’s what you want to call it) trumps their belief in the U.S. Constitution and the First Amendment. You would think they would be supportive of the very Constitution that allows them to preach their hatred to the rest of us, but it doesn’t.

I’m not crazy; I’m armed. And I intend to stay that way. Guns and groceries; best investment you can make because sooner or later, the blood of patriots will have to be shed again to defend what you on the left are trying to destroy.

Richard Wheeler
I SAY YOU ARE CRAZY FOR COVERING A PERSON WHO SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE FOREIGNERS,

JUST EAT YOUR WORDS, ANDCHECK YOUR OWN SANITY,

Bees I’m doing great,thanks You are ranting and raving like retireo5.

Relax and enjoy the Obama victory that is surely coming. Romney has blown his chances with that 47% comment. Probably the worst gaffe I’ve seen in over 50 years of watching elections.

I’M COUNTING ON THEM,
YOU THINK OF THE 47, THAT DOESN’T MEAN NOTHING BUT WHAT ABOUT OBAMA BLEW HIS CHANCE

What’s next?

I was really flipping out when I found out where some of our tax money went:

http://www.local10.com/news/Section-8-moves-into-gated-communities/-/1717324/16596440/-/7wq91r/-/index.html

I noticed the housing voucher program opened up here earlier in the year. I have a friend on SSDI who told me that he was offered a voucher. In fact, the officer on his case told him they recently received a generous amount of money for the Section 8 voucher program down here in S. Florida (see links above & below). I wondered why they opened up the program here right around election time?!

So now their handing out keys to mansions, on your dime. Incredible, huh? Coincidentally, I also noticed an article in an Orange County, Ca. website that said their Section 8 voucher program opened up briefly earlier this year, too. They said the program was closed for 7 years and that it finally opened up briefly earlier this year. They suspect it will be closed for many, many years to come. Funny, how the voucher program opened up in Orange County, CA briefly right before the election (FEB, 2012), and it opened up in the very same area where you could move into a Section 8 mansion (Earlier in 2012).

http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2012-09-13/news/fl-high-hud-rentals-20120907_1_judith-aigen-white-neighbors-neighborhoods

http://www.ocregister.com/articles/housing-341500-waiting-list.html (Notice how the Section 8 Housing Program opened up earlier this year, right around election time!)

@Obama Nation No More!:

Section 8 is a taxpayer ripoff. Let me tell you how it works: you have a rent house that you would normally charge $800/month in rent for. But if you list it with the feds as a Section 8 house, you can charge $1000+/month. The government places someone in the home and guarantees you the rent. Now, maybe you live in a small town (like I do) and there are very few city ordinances. Before you know it, you have barking dogs that might be of the pitbull type, or in my case, smelly goats and chickens. It took me one year to get my small town to honor the “no livestock within the city limits” ordinance because our mayor (at that time) was a big Dem and told me I just didn’t like minorities. But one of the chickens was badly injured and the owers did nothing to help it. A call to the SPCA in Dallas got the mayor’s attention and the goats and chickens were removed by the animal control officer the very same day.

As to the woman who moved into a gated community with NINE kids; did no one tell her abortion is legal? Or that she can use her EBT card to get the $9.00 cash to pay for birth control pills?

It won’t end until Americans start saying “No More” and mean it.

TOM
EVERYBODY KNOW THEY ARE DEPENDANT OF GOVERNMENT CHECKS,
THAT’S WHY MITT ROMNEY AND PAUL RYAN WANT TO HELP THEM,
NOT BY LYING OR PROMISES LIKE OBAMA IS DOING NOW FOR VOTES,
MITT KNOW THAT, HE KNOW THEY WILL VOTE OBAMA AND WANT TO HELP THEM BETTER,
NOW THERE IS NO MORE MONEY IN OBAMA’S PURSE, HE HAS TO MAKE MONEY, BUT HE IS A BIG SPENDER AND THAT MONEY WILL RUN OUT SOON,
SO AMERICANS ARE BETTER WITH MITT ROMNEY, IF THEY WANT TO SURVIVE AND HAVE JOBS, AND BE AMERICANS THE WAY IT IS MEANT TO BE BY THE FRAMERS OF THIS GREAT NATION
SOME HUNDREDS YEARS AGO, THE CONSTITUTION NEVER FAILED THE GOOD PEOPLE,
BUT OBAMA FAIL THE CONSTITUTION, HE WANT HER OUT OF HIS WAY, THAT IS BAD FOR AMERICA,
AND IT CANNOT WORK FOUR MORE YEARS LIKE HE DOES NOTHING TO HELP AMERICA LIKE HE IS SUPPOSE TO DO, SO MITT WILL TAKE THE JOB HE WILL DO A GOOD JOB BECAUSE HE LOVE AMERICA, AND KNOW HOW TO FIX A BROKEN NATION, ECONOMIC AND MENTALLY MAKE THE PEOPLE HAPPY AGAIN AND PROUD,
OBAMA HAS BEEN TAUGHT BY JEREMY WHITE TO HATE AMERICA FOR 20 YEARS,
GUESS WHAT HE IS DOING TO AMERICA IN THE LAST YEARS OF HIS TERM,
THAT IS NOTHING TO HELP, AND ALL TO DESTROY HER, HE SAID IT , HE WILL CHANGE AMERICA FOREVER,
NO HE CAN’T,

@retire05:

As Nan pointed out, Obama has nothing to do with this, but look how it’s been framed by the Right. I guess the idea is that this is some of that “red meat” for the base, and the base apparently has a lot of anger and contempt for poor minorities. It doesn’t really sing though if Obama isn’t involved, right? It might actually just be racism if it isn’t about Obama’s “free cell phone” initiative. You tell me, did the video give you that sanctimoneous superiority fluff you crave?

@Richard Wheeler:

ND is looking good, huh?

Here is some interesting election analysis you might enjoy. http://m.newyorker.com/online/blogs/johncassidy/2012/09/electoral-predictions-the-obama-romney-map-is-turning-blue.html

Cheers.

@retire05:

I live near the area where those mansions are. That’s why I’m upset. It’s not fair that I live in a modest three-bedroom house, work pay taxes etc. and they’re living a mansion!

How is this fair? We work, pay taxes live within a few miles of those mansions in a small modest home, and Section 8 recipients live in a mansion, while I’m paying taxes on it. We make good money, too! 🙂

Look, I’m not against helping the poor, if they legitimately need it. I really want to help people who need a helping hand because I once needed help, so I understand. But these home are like 3,000 – 4,500 square feet. They get utility vouchers to pay for electric, ebt for food, free medicaid and the Obamaphones. I think all this is doing more harm than good. If someone hooked me up like that when I first started out, I don’t think I’d have any incentive to work!

At least I’m financially independent, and we our HOMEOWNERS. But it seems rather odd that we make good money and even we’re not living in a Section 8 mansion! Just the property taxes alone will run about 1 grand a month. And insurance could run about 5 grand or more a year. Think about it: That’s about $17,000 a year, just on property taxes and insurance. The electricity has to be around $400-$500 a month! I know the going rate in the area. The lady who delivers the mail lives in a large home in that area. She was complaining how her insurance went up. So I am quite well of how much it costs.

Obama Nation No More!
hi,
yes this is the world upside down is in it.
and it won’t last too long, how are they going to do when they are drop out,
bye

@Tom:

I don’t give a damn if the free cell phones were given out by Lincoln himself. Why am I paying taxes on my phone service to provide a cell phone for someone who should have a quarter for a pay phone? Oh, that’s right, the telephone companies stopped putting pay phones in low income housing areas because a) the coin bins got broken out and the money taken or b) the whole damn phone got stolen.

And why the mention of “poor minorities?” Tell me, Tom, in a nation where an education up to the 12th grade is free, why are people poor? Do you think that the Hispanic who grew up in the barrio and made good use of the education he/she got had a better chance that the Hispanic that grew up in the same barrio who didn’t? And what constitutes being “poor?” Explain to me your definition of “poor.”

Are you poor if you own a car? Are you poor if you have central heat and air conditioning? Are you poor if you have a TV, microwave, can afford to eat out at McDonald’s?

You leftwingers have redefined the definition of poor in order to redistribute the earnings of the hard work of others. Our “poor” live better than the middle class in most European nations, yet all we hear from you, and your ilk, is blathering about the “poor” and of course, to add effect, minorities. Guess what, Bubba, in my state, I am a minority but I don’t see you demanding that anyone give me anything for free.

@retire05:

Bubba?

From what I can parse from your rant, you have chosen to blame the poor and their so called enablers (the Left) for our country’s, and perhaps your own, problems. You believe the most disenfranchised and least powerful among us have that capability. This is the classic meanspirited political ethos of a bully.

You apparently don’t understand the current state of wealth redistribution if you believe it’s a distribution downward. That’s simply not true. I know one of your favorite terms is “useful idiot”. How do you think the super rich and the heads of Wall Street banks refer to people who blame the poor for all our nation’s ills a mere four years after a Wall Street inspired financial meltdown?

What the free phone program refers to is the Lifeline Program.

From Fox News:

But even though some beneficiaries may credit President Obama for providing the phones, Lifeline is an extension of a program that has existed since 1985. Still, critics including Rep. Tim Griffin, R-Ark., note the program has swelled from $772 million in 2008 to $1.6 billion.
. . .
Griffin, who introduced H.R. 3481 in November to end the program, claims to have evidence of dead people getting free cell phones in the mail, ineligible people getting multiple phones and electronic kiosks in convenience stores to encourage people to get the phones.

No doubt the dead people are using the free cell phones given to them by President Obama to arrange transportation to their polling places on Election Day.

GREG
I BET THERE IS A BIG MARKET TO SELL THOSE PHONES,
BY THE DEAD PEOPLE, SINCE THEY ARE COMING UNLIMITED,
IT MUST BE AS GOOD AS THE FOOD STAMPS MARKET.

@Tom:

Like most liberals, you are lousey at answering questions. But I understand that answering questions destroys the liberal mantra about the “poor.”

You also indicate that the “poor” are the “most disenfranchised and least powerful” among us. Not so. No one segment of our society has more politicians pandering to them for their votes based on the free stuff that those politicans will give them. The “poor” is the most talked about segment, being the favorite group Democrats have and more legislation is about the “poor” than the rich.

And yes, wealth is redistributed downward. When middle class Americans work 40-60 hours a week to support their families with no handouts from other taxpayers, and they are taxed to provide free housing, free food, free medical care, free cash, free telephones (the list goes on) to others that politicians deem are deserving of another mans labor, that is downward wealth distribution.

What you liberals will never address is the cause of poverty. I suggest you read the history of Walter Williams, the economist, who grew up in a slum. Or perhaps the history of Clarence Thomas, Starr Parker, or any other minority that grew up in slums and/or poverty and explain to me the difference between them and the welfare mom who has been supported by taxpayers her entire life.

To live in poverty in the United States boils down to personal choices. They choose to not finish high school, although almost every high school in the nation offers evening classes for a GED. They choose to have children they can’t afford with absentee fathers who disappear as soon as the woman tells him she is pregnant; they choose to turn to crime for an easy buck instead of trying to get an education (even just a high school education) and learning a trade so they can earn an honest dollar; they chose to turn to alcohol, or drugs, instead of trying to make something of themselves. Can you give me any logical reason that a woman has nine children (as shown in ObamaNationNoMore!’s link) and there isn’t a daddy in sight?

So you explain to me why people in the U.S. are “poor” right after you define the term “poor.” And stop spouting the liberal “Conservatives just hate the poor” that is only designed for the purpose of garnering votes for those who live high off the hog. But I know you won’t. Because honesty is not part of the liberal DNA.

@Nan G:

Obama did NOT give this idiot a FREE phone.

She seems to believe otherwise.

http://blogs.wsj.com/developments/2010/08/02/no-more-slum-slumming-for-section-8-recipients/

The new “ObamaMansion!” (See links above & below.)

The house in the link above (in Nevada) very modest in comparison of the homes you can get in S. Florida (see link below).

The ones in S. Florida blow those in the WSJ away. But still, it’s a good story to read. At least that lady has a job. Her house in Nevada is pretty nice. It’s bigger than mine, and we don’t even have a pool! Man, I wish they would have hooked me up like that when I first started out!

I just don’t understand why the Obamaphones are such a big deal with the ObamaMansions are mind blowing. The phones are one thing; the mansions are another! How come they don’t make a video about the ObamaMansions? If more people knew about it, they’d be rioting.

Think about it, your working hard, paying your taxes, saving, investing, going to school or paying back your student loan, paying property taxes (if your a homeowner), yet you’re not living in an ObamaMansion. On the other hand, some people are getting free health care, free or subsidized ObamaMansions, utility vouchers, child care vouchers, Medicaid, Obamaphones and the coveted EBT card. Why bother working if you can get all that for free? Read the comments in the WSJ article I posted!

Obviously, you can’t get vouchers for homes like that in all areas, but when you live in an area where you can, it does seem unfair! I think it seems unfair to people who live in areas where they can’t get those homes either. I talked to one lady who applied for a Section 8 voucher, and she said they don’t give vouchers to homes like that where she lives. She seemed pretty upset she couldn’t get one. A lot of people are upset! I just don’t think enough people realize just how huge the mansions are in S. Florida (they’re like 4,500 square feet). I know just how luxurious these homes are because I live right by that development (See link below). The home in that development in Coral Springs, Florida blows that home in the WSJ away! The ObamaMansion in Coral Springs is three times the size of the home I presently live in. How do you think I feel?

it’s just for election , watch after, the election, he will dump them,

@Enchanted: She does have a job. She was getting paid $11 an hr., from my understanding. In fact, you can still be a low-wage earner and qualify for the following government assistance: Medicaid, Section 8 vouchers, ebt cards, child-care vouchers, utility vouchers, free cell-phone assistance, SSDI (up to $600 a month), even welfare. You just can’t make a lot of money, or you have to do it under-the-books.

@Obama Nation No More!: You just can’t make a lot of money, or you have to do it under-the-books.

Under the table or off the books, Los Angeles has a thriving underground economy.
On the surface everybody is passing themselves off as ”poor.”
But that’s just for the perks you listed.
The reality is street sales of EVERYTHING from housecleaning and handyman work to tamales and fruit cocktails.
None of it has to be declared on a form for social services.
So none of it is.
