can donate more to a campaign than an actual voter.


There are limits on everyone except PACs. Millions of average citizens can donate without limit. Whenever we use VRBO I always check their campaign contributions. We do not rent from people who have donated ANY amount of money to ActBlue or state/federal Democratic candidates.

"11,955,422 Democratic donors have saved their payment information with us via an ActBlue Express account. The best part? Express users can use their account to give to any candidate or organization on ActBlue. And with our ActBlue Express Lane toolset, you can build single-click automatic payment links for your fundraising emails. That means happier supporters and higher conversion rates."

Just wait till you realize that corporations are receiving handouts too and have the ability to pay off politicians and can donate more to a campaign than an actual voter.



Just wait until you find out most of the corporate money goes to democrats and you have to find an excuse to justify corp donations.

You are as stupid as the leftists who still whine about nFox.

It really is amazing how many people are on medicaid that have no business being on it and could easily afford private plans. That's the one that bothers me the most.

I know business owners and hairdressers in california who are on medi-cal (our version of medicaid here in CA)


I bet Cali is the place to live if you plan to get government assistance.

In Louisiana, the limit for what you can make and still get it is $1,064.

Monthly Income limits for Medicaid Programs on ldh.la.gov

That's double what the limit was a decade ago.

You misunderstood what I meant. The rich's welfare is viewed as needed, while the poor's welfare is viewed as greedy when it is the exact opposite. Not that rich=bad, but if you run a company into the ground you should deal with the fricking consequences.

It’s unbelievable how long these cats will suck on any giant corporate dick but the second some down on their luck average joe needs a few grand to stay afloat, it’s a goddamn travesty that he doesn’t have to eat ramen noodles and boiled wallpaper.

No, we should stop rewarding shitty, stupid behavior.

Some will suffer short-term, but if we stop paying people to breed, EVERYONE benefits in the long run.

If you are changing your argument to welfare, that would be a different story. If you really want to stop poor people from having the ability to eat until they can figure a way to pay for their own food, you are heartless, ignorant, and jealous. Simple math!

You really have a problem with letting poor people eat? Sad!

If you can't afford food, you can't afford food. It actually doesn't reflect on someone's character. They may make more money than you one day.

A large portion is Medicaid. The price of health care is actually quite ridiculous in America. I can understand people needing assistance

Maybe they should do better. The only victim of poverty is a child and then when they grow up the cycle continues. I have no sympathy for any able bodied adult that cant feed themselves or family. Try not to suck...

Yes!! The military is the biggest welfare system the USA supports. I know 3 vets that get disability and they never saw combat! 2 of the 3 are a married couple - both at 90% disability - so they each get $2300 a month - he does not work but she does - and she also competes in rodeos - she doesn’t seem to disabled to me - and I get the mental disability thing (I know plenty that are from Vietnam) but traumatized from what?? Basic training??

She’s worse than the Medicaid mommas about healthcare for her kids
