So, I’ve already analyzed Obama’s speech which was given shortly after Clinton’s following speech.  She had been expected to suspend her campaign and acknowledge that Obama had reached the “magic number,” but not actually concede, but she didn’t even do that.  She just said, “I’ll talk it over and decide later” essentially.  Here’s the speech: Thank you. Thank you so much. ...

Raised on welfare, the 'Why Bother?' generation that doesn't want to work |
2008-04-22 02:53:00
A "why bother?" economy has been created in Britain which has left thousands with no motivation to work, a report published today concludes. Successive governments have encouraged a welfare culture that has left every family facing a £1,300 bill because the poor stay poor, it claims. The findings by the public services think tank Reform suggest that increased welfare dependency has made it more difficult for those on the lowest incomes to do better. An education system with a "dismal record" of educating the poorest, and a complex welfare system, have together created a far more divided society than other European countries, it finds. Means-tested benefits and higher taxes have reduced the incentives available to those on low incomes to better themselves, Reform says. It concludes: "significant minority do not have the capability or motivation to succeed" href="http://www.dailymail.co.u-k/pages/live/articles/news/news-.html?in_article_id=560939&-in_page_id=1770">The unintende...

The Fair Tax: Universal Welfare is Bad for America
2008-04-14 23:33:00
Libertarian Presidential candidate George Phillies today pointed out a deep flaw in the "Fair Tax" advocated by some Republicans, including former Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.

Newsflash: The welfare state has NOT ended
2008-03-23 19:11:00
Bob Lonsberry, today: Like a fool, I went back and forth for most of three minutes, from the apple bin to the scale and to the apple bin again. I had two dollars and I wanted two apples and two pears, for lunch, and if I could find an apple small enough I could just afford it. The right fruit finally found, I went to the registers and took my place in line. The woman in front of me was in her 20s, healthy and young, with a fancy fruit drink and a gourmet salad. The salad looked pretty good. She had a leather coat and several pieces of garish gold jewelry. And then I had one of those American moments. One of those commonalities that bind us together and drive us crazy and are the foundation of folklore. While I stood there with my miser lunch, the leather-coated, jewelry-wearing, designer-beverage drinking, foo-foo salad eating healthy young woman opened her money-stuffed purse - and paid with food stamps. Years ago, it would have made me angry. Now I take it in stride, as just anoth...

Brian on Taxes, Welfare, and Laziness
2008-03-14 09:10:00
It's simple economics. You should understand--excise taxes, for example, are made for the very purpose of motivating or unmotivating people from engaging in certain behaviors. It isn't hard to see that when the government takes more and more of your money, you begin to ask the question, why? I am not opposed to taxes at all. In fact, looking at this great nation, I can't help but be grateful for the tax contributions that have funded my education, my roads, highways, etc. Indeed, this country wouldn't be what it is without faithful taxpayers.Now, back to the question: Why does the government need to continue taking more and more and more money? It sure sounds great to say that all of this money is going to the poor and needy, but we all know that's not true. The redistribution of wealth would be a great idea if it actually worked. The problem is that there are FAR too many abuses with government spending and the majority of it is not going to the poor."Help the less fortunate"....

2008-02-23 15:02:00
By TOM GODFREY -- Sun Media The Toronto SunHundreds of GTA Muslim men in polygamous marriages -- some with a harem of wives -- are receiving welfare and social benefits for each of their spouses, thanks to the city and province, Muslim leaders say. ..polygamous marriages are recognized as spouses under the Ontario Family Law Act, providing they were legally married under Muslim laws abroad."Polygamy is a regular part of life for many Muslims," Ali said yesterday. "Ontario recognizes religious marriages for Muslims and others."He estimates "several hundred" GTA husbands in polygamous marriages are receiving benefits. Under Islamic law, a Muslim man is permitted to have up to four spouses.The average recipient with a child can receive about $1,500 monthly, city officials said."There are many people in the community who are taking advantage of this," Ali said.

EBT cards probably have done little to reduce benefits (welfare) fraud!
2008-02-17 16:31:00
Several years ago, one of the reasons plastic electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards were introduced was to reduce benefits (welfare) fraud. Apparently, criminals preying on government entitlement systems have figured out how to keep right on scamming the system using this form of “plastic.” Dan Cortex of the Free Detroit Press reports: An intricately coordinated raid 18 months ...

Rational welfare
2008-02-04 18:51:00
As Super Tuesday is just around the corner, it is worth reading Daniel Koffler's piece on Comment is Free last month, where he claims Obama is a "left libertarian" candidate:Instead of recommending traditional welfare-state liberalism as a solvent for socioeconomic inequalities and dislocations, Goolsbee promotes programmes to essentially democratise the market, protecting and where possible expanding freedom of choice, while simultaneously creating rational, self-interested incentives for individuals to participate in solving collective problems. No wonder, then, that Obama's healthcare plan is specifically designed to give people good reason to buy in, without coercing them. Likewise, as George Will reported in a column from October, Goolsbee's proposal for reducing income inequality is to lower barriers to higher education, the primary factor in determining future earnings, and noticeably does not rely on state interventions in the market, which can succeed at equalising incom...

BJP marries Hindutva with welfare
2008-01-29 07:57:00
Shekhar Iyer, Hindustan Times, New Delhi, Jan 29, 2008The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday spoke of a new kind of Hindutva that would not scare away its NDA allies. With the general elections of 2009 topmost in its mind, the party’s national council decided that it will not talk about the Ram temple, Uniform Civil Code or Article 370 but would rake up issues like the destruction of Ram Sethu for a shipping canal project, the delay in the hanging of Parliament attack accused Mohd Afzal and the UPA’s religion-based affirmative actions.[snip]Comments: We can safely assume that BJP has not learned the fundamental lessons from the defeat in the previous Lok Sabha elections.The fundamental lesson BJP should have learned is that a political party cannot take its core voter base for granted and still expect to win elections.As much as Congress and leftists would like to have BJP leadership believe that the previous Lok Sabha elections were won by Congress led UPA based on uneven economi...
Safeguard your family?s welfare
2008-01-28 05:11:00
?Physically you are a human being, but mentally you are incomplete. Given that we have this physical human form, we must safeguard our mental capacity for judgment. For that, we cannot take out insurance; the insurance company is within: self-discipline, self-awareness, and a clear realization of the disadvantages of anger and the positive effects of kindness.? (Dalai Lama quotes -Head of the Dge-lugs-pa order of Tibetan Buddhists, 1989 Nobel Peace Prize)I will not make an attempt to allegorize insurance as the Dalai Lama did there. However, I would like to take the issue of ?safeguarding? the welfare of our family, which we can do through insuring our self and them. How do you safeguard your family?s welfare through insurance?An insurance portal like EZ can give you the practical answers to that.
