made in the article about those receiving government benefits. it is all propaganda and lies perpetrated by the right to take away those safety nets from the people and hand those funds over to big business in the form of huge tax breaks and subsidies.

this is what the white working class does not realize. once those safety nets are gone their taxes wont go down nor will their wages go up, big business will simply get a larger chunk of the economic pie while the working class and poor get screwed once again!!!

oh and those people who have lost their benefits will now be homeless, crime rate will explode and the economy will be thrust into another great depression which will make the first one look like a vacation at the beach!!!
