Reperations~ The other persepective- Rep Jim Clyburn

Hello dukkha,



It HAS helped.

The Democrats could do themselves no harm at the 2020 DNC than to trot out example after example of people who have been helped out of poverty by Great Society programs.
awesome, fantastic..so end it already..50+ years with no end in sight is a permanent undersclass -enough
 
:) Bill. You can "Live on your knees, or at least Die on your feet".

Pick one:
a. I like that America fought for it's Independence. It's like it was 'earned'.
b. I like being Canadian. Sure we were Subjects of a King, but hey, we were finally 'given' our Independence.

See the difference?



Do you know the rebellion was one of many..

Do you recall what happened??? Most meet the same fate-death, torture & Crucifixion..

Is that something you would have preferred here in America??

Yes, to match how the Republicans at the 2016 RNC trotted out example after example of people who started with nothing and worked hard their whole lives,,, - and still ended up with nothing because the work they did was all done at starvation wages for rich guys who never gave them a chance to move up.

Tell me. How do you expect ending government assistance programs altogether - to produce a better result at fighting poverty than the Great Society programs have? Or is that not the point. Perhaps it is just to lower taxes at all cost, and don't worry about the consequences. That's really it, isn't it.

Government assistance programs are not meant to equate the wealth and accomplishments of true success - only to save those who have been unable to even earn a minimal modicum of lifestyle from absolute destitution.

Why try? Are you kidding yourself? The reason to try is to rise above mere sustenance and build something worth having!

Any conservatives who think being on the dole is a totally cushy bed of roses - are welcome to give away everything including their credit rating; and try to survive on the dole. That would snap some heads back into place and silence those voices of scorn.

add:

One of the prominent reasons some may be tempted to feel that working is not worth while compared to the 'easy life' of the dole is this:

MINIMUM WAGE IS TOO LOW!!!

And the solution to that is dirt-simple.

Raise the minimum wage enough so that working results in a better life than being on the dole.

You are welcome to think what you wish....... We are not going to agree, & that's fine.....

Had they been able to & done what you are asking, there would have likely been genocide in America beyond what the world has never seen..........hats-off-salute-smiley-emoticon.gif

Bill: "You are welcome to think what you wish....... We are not going to agree, & that's fine....."
Jack; I think we do agree. Agree that Clyburn has a more pragmatic Plan to implement a 'reparations' type arrangement than the 'Send me a Check' crowd.

Bill: "Had they been able to & done what you are asking, there would have likely been genocide in America beyond what the world has never seen...."
Jack: Yeah, maybe. You could probably say the same thing about the Colonists, as they took on the Global Empire of the English.

Bill definitely lives on his knees. That's how coward do things. Begging and groveling.
 
Congratulations. You gave an opinion and refrained from calling other people 'nigger' and 'boy'. :thumbsup:

Are those two considered an opinion, just one you don't like?

Sometimes it's so obvious it's not necessary.

Thanks, I wasted two posts treating you decently & even a compliment on two of your posts for not being a racist pig & this is the thanks I get..:laugh: :rofl2:

Why bother Bill? That white trash racist is the biggest coward I have ever seen. All talk, all pissing himself with fear when challenged. Why do you think he talks like this on the internet? In the real world he never would. He would piss himself into instant dehydration.
 
You're right, I guess I have a soft spot for losers & those who have been shit on by the bluebirds of happiness....

People come here and talk about ideas, current issues, give their opinion. Sometimes they agree, sometimes they disagree. Calling someone "Poo Poo Head" doesn't advance your argument. It's just a distraction and an admission you've run out of ammo.
