I am so happy to hear that you work hard for the things you earned.. I would be happy to have you as a neighbour, So many ppl want things for free, like that lady.. why cuz she is a ass kisser..WE do not need Obama for another 4 years as president. It will only get worse if he is re-elected. And for that I will not get anything, I can not get health insurance or social security or welfare, because I live if my ex husband. I have lung disease and can not work, but yet everyone else with health problems can recieve benefits. Sorry I am went on with my problems…But I do agree with you .. and its not because of your skin color..

Percentage wise, it’s pretty close. Here’s a breakdown of welfare recipients in 2011:
Black-39.8%
White-38.8%
Hispanic-15.7%
Other-3.3%
Asian-2.4%
This isn’t broken down by percentage of their respective populations though, just percentage of recipients. By percentage of population, 5% of all whites are on welfare, 27% of all blacks are. So yeah, there are more whites strictly by numbers than blacks, but if you look at the populations, blacks are more likely to be on welfare than whites. These are facts.

I’m a libertarian and I despise Obama as President. But there is way too much misinformation surrounding this one. Yeah, the lady THINKS Obama gave her a free phone and she thinks that she’s entitled to all kinds of free stuff and that’s horrible. That’s part of the problem right now, there really are way too many people not only dependent on the government, but they think they deserve things like free cell phones, free internet, free laptops, etc. and that needs to stop. However, the free cell phone program was started under George W. Bush. It did go into effect after Obama took office, but he had nothing to do with it. More proof that you republicans are just as bad (especially Bush Jr.) as the democrats. You’re all calling her ignorant (and you’re right, she is), but then why are you taking her word that Obama started the free cell phone program without doing a little research first? Ten seconds on google.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK THIS OUT!! Romney Can cut $12,870,000,000 A YEAR (that’s TRILLION’s) from the spending. 16,500,000 CELL PHONES provided by Obama, (paid by the tax payers) that Obama is using to buy votes. That = $1,072,500,000 per month.
TURN THEM OFF NOW!!!! It cost us over $1,850,000,000 just to buy the stupid phones. [X that for the next 10 years], we could be out of DEBT. TURN THEM OFF!!

I really thought this post was going to redeem this line of discussion, finally a compassionate person, maybe a true Christian heart. But, alas, no. She’s dismissed in the end, her vote, our lack thereof, is her only value. And if she doesn’t vote for our guy she has no value at all.

Let’s not talk about those who ”purport to be God fearing” people. The comments here are almost all UN Christian.

Again, a plan put forward by Reagan. So where is all the Reagan bashing? Typical

Actually it’s not money from taxes, it’s charged on your phone bill, originally planned under Reagan. You guys just disregard the facts.
