Conservatives don't like abortion, and they don't like Welfare. Now, I can understand their dislike for these ideas taken separately. Yet, at the same time, I don't think these can be separated. I would think that the more abortions allowed, would mean less mouths suckling the teat. Follow me? I would rather my tax dollars be better spent on decreasing the amount of welfare recipients, by paying for an abortion, than paying someone to raise another leech on the taxpayers dime. An abortion costs what? An eighteen year food/housing/medical expense bill or a $200.00 procedure every other year.
Personally, I don't care if a mother has an abortion, that's between her and her doctor, and God. It's not my place, the governments place, or some religious groups place to interfere.
I also don't like paying people to breed, just to be unproductive members of society. Most illegals here, are here to work, and they do work. But that in itself doesn't justify them being granted citizenship, they need to do it like my grandparents did it.. Get In Line! Immigration Reform is the lie the Democrats like to use around election time. The Dream Act, is another of those lies, and misguided programs.
As far as Unemployment goes, you have to work to be able to collect UI, and you have to seek work to continue getting it. I'd rather have a job though, since UI doesn't pay enough to live on. So, where are the "Job Creators" that have received all these tax breaks for the last 12 years? This is the line from the Republicans, that lower taxes on Corporations create jobs. Which is a lie unto itself, as any business man will tell you. Supply and demand create jobs.
So, in essence, BOTH Party's haven't lived up to their talk. Both Party's lied to us. Both Party's will continue to lie to us, because we let them get away with it. Let's find some middle ground to stand on and stop playing the Extremes, because all the extremes do is what they were intended to do. DIVIDE AND CONQUER.
