can someone please point out where it said that the black leaders are asking for more 'handouts' or welfare? Because all I saw was a request for more economic opportunities involving jobs and job training, and that any tax increases not burden the working class further - and the working class isn't all black anyhow.
I'd ask for the same things myself - does that make me a 'gimme goober' in your eyes?
No one, regardless of race, creed or color, is entitled to government (tax payer) funded job training. That is a 100% personal responsibility. No one should get a tax increase, except those who pay none. Everyone SHOULD pay taxes. If one takes part in and uses public money, they should pay. When people, for what ever reason, rich or poor, refuse to pull their own weight, everything collapses and everyone losses.
It is also NOT the government's responsibility to provide jobs. That too is solely the responsibility of the individual.
ANYONE who believes that they are ENTITLED to money that they have NOT earned is, without a doubt, a "Gimmie Goober".
Everyone is, for the most part, the sum of their own choices. Live with them. Don't like where they have led you? Change it. It solely the responsibility of the individual to do so.
You guys really need to expand your horizons - and your definition of the real gimme goobers in the US. A lot of whom are leading the rants against the lazy lower classes while they disregard their own hands held out.

I'm grateful for a government that recognizes that hard work should lead to the so called American Dream, and that it's in society's best interests to see that it does. We shouldn't reward laziness, and we shouldn't allow greed to flourish either.
Not really sure how Social Security, Medicare, and even Medicaid are "Free", when the vast majority of those receiving benefits from those programs have been paying taxes for most, if not all, their working lives.

Exactly. And those who insist we focus our attention on those areas of the budget, are particularly concerned that we don't look somewhere [or anywhere] else - wonder why that is.....
