You are blaming a class of people for something you see as wrong. What does blaming solve? What information are you providing that helps us learn something constructive?

Saying what a group wants isn't blame, it's fact. And since you seem incapable of even attempting to refute those facts, you must agree... whether you'll admit it or not.

I've already told you what acknowledging reality solves:

How is it helpful to blame every problem with our country on one class of people? Seems to me you are ceding your power to make anything better. You certainly aren't providing anything useful.

Learn to read, illiterate. This is now the third time I've told you that saying what some people want is a fact, not blaming for anything.
But you're so busy projecting and blaming me that you can't manage to read simple English.
Yes, you're right. If leftists like you can't read simple English and always deflect their problems onto others, they will never find solutions. You're railing against yourself and you don't even realize it. You're projecting your own lack of power and blaming me. 9_9

It would be funny of it wasn't so sad to watch.

In other words, you have no idea how blaming is helpful. You're like a stuck record, repeating accusations against the left with no ideas on how to make things better.

Some people will ignore plain, simple English to maintain their demonization of others. 9_9
Even when they can't refute the facts and know they're true. All they can do is refuse to listen to anything that threatens their delicate little worldview.

Moral condemnation is not fact. The facts are that the US Govt regularly gives financial assistance and subsidies and grants thru lots of programs and has been for a long time. Leftists have nothing to do with that. It is for those who qualify and are entirely justified as helping to alleviate the burden on the impoverished and the disadvantaged. If you have a problem with that, take it up with Congress.

Read it again, projecting moralizing prig.

It's a fact that leftists want big government, as they are the ones who most demand higher taxes and more government control and spending. It's also a fact that leftists are the biggest proponents of welfare. Pretending that particular people don't push certain policies is pure delusion. It's the entire basis for different political parties having different political platforms.

See, you agree that some people, yourself included, believe it is a solution.

So aside from your clear delusion that everyone equally wants big government and welfare, you've proven my point. Thanks!

So what? There's nothing morally wrong with supporting financial assistance for the poor and the disadvantaged. There's also nothing wrong with having ideas on how to spend the govt's billions in tax dollars. Even conservatives do that. That's what the money is for. To claim otherwise is just retarded.

No one said it was morally wrong, delusional illiterate. You're arguing your own made-up bullshit, moron.

Then quit blaming them for something that isn't wrong.
