or should I say...watch it and laugh...

Mr. Obama called it 'redistributing' housing loans to low income families.

Will history repeat itself...

Now he wants to 'redistribut' someone elses hard earned money to low income families.

The american dream as I learned it... Work hard, have faith, work harder, and earn your rewards.

The american dream as it is being depicted now... Have faith that the government will be able to steal for you what you could not make yourself.

The loans to low income people were just a small drop in this big bucket of **** that's spilled over.

It makes me fighting mad to see anyone blame loans to low income people for this mess.

I am sure it's easy when you are scared to blame the poor, foreigners or anyone who isn't like you but guess what ladies and gentlemen...it isn't that simple.

Sure hope you never become disabled.

wow that was kinda harsh. meaning behind it?

Me? How is that?

what your meaning behind saying you hope he never becomes disabled

My meaning?

I do hope he doesn't. I know people that have...car accidents, strokes, etc. They are really having a difficult time in this economy.

He has talked bad about low income people on threads. They could be disabled and many are.

He said, "work hard, have faith, work harder, and earn your rewards." Well, disabled people can't do that.

Why shouldn't we help these people? They paid their taxes when they were working.

the disabled do get taken care of and i have no problem helping them. as for the low income i dont mind helping if they are willing to try and help themselves. in my line of work i see a lot of people who have no disabilities and have no reason not to work but they dont because the governmet keeps giving them everthing so there attitude why should i work hard. its very irritating to see my hard earned money going to that.

I believe that they are the minority.

Also, is there any possibility that some of those that you see might be suffering from depression?

Winx....do you truely believe what you write ?...wow !!!

Yes. I have had patients that are are physically disabled and patients that have had mental illnesses.

Try to imagine what it's like walking in their shoes.

Yes she does, and so do I

yes she has a heart and something called empathy.A lot of people work hard and when they do have something happen and they need help they do not seek it because of attitudes displayed in this thread.

its like i said i have no problem helping people who truly need help but there are plenty who abuse the system.
my mother has hsd a heart attack, has diabetes, and had her right leg amputated and im sure if she wanted to she could get help but she doesnt want it and at 61 she is still working.

For your information... I am disabled.
I was once an american soldier. I gave blood so people can voice their opinions, poop on my country, stand on my flag, live on my taxes, give away my grandchildrens futures, and THEN tell me I am predjudice...

Disabled does not men NOT ABLE. It just means you have to try harder in areas that others find easy... and IF a person is ACTUALLY disabled there are programs ALREADY funded to help take care of them. (I use some of those services).

I wasn't talkin bout hard working low income people... I been on the streets... I was talking bout those people that EXPECT a hand out and have been gettin one for generations.

BIG DIFFERENCE...!!!

thank you for your service

You didn't specify. You said low income people. These are disabled and elderly and people working hard for little money.

The generations have been cut off already. There is a time limit for receiving benefits now.
