I love how anti-Bernie people think that all he wants to do is raise taxes to give away free money. Ignorance is frustrating.
lol, funny guy. Personally I don't think the video shows us enough to really lead us to believe whether the guy was in the right or the wrong here, so I'm withholding judgement on this instance. It's pretty clear though that the welfare system in the US is very prone to abuse, not by all but by enough that Americans are taking a stand against it. That being said, I do feel bad for the guy, it has to be embarrassing and frustrating to get called out in front of your kids like that, while you are surrounded by a lot of other people.
Who cares if it's prone to abuse, we have bigger fish to fry and the inevitable criminal and societal costs to not having welfare programs is staggeringly higher.

Well then, you are more of a liberal SJW than I thought you were.
There are good reasons to worry about it. For example some people sell their food stamps for drugs, which often can lead to other crimes being committed. Another example is unemployment providing an incentive for people to not work (because it's easier to get pay checks while doing nothing), and considering the tax payers foot the bill here, I think they have a right to be very interested in this topic. Not saying this guy is that type of offender either, it appears he is not.
i would dare say your the one who is angry. that said your post just seems to boil down to "fuck you got mine screw the poor".

because what they want is essentially little more than a modern equivalent of a feudal caste system where you have the peasants the landowners the nobles,dukes,counts,etc the knights, the lords, the kings and queens in their proper order. because given enough time that's what it would end up as.
you could even liken the lottery to a peasant getting lucky and finding buried gold some robber or exiled king forgot about.

Why should taxpayer subsidize these companies by partially paying their wages even if the jobs are low skill/low wage? Never really understood, no matter how much you want to hate poor people, that people seem to be ok with subsidizing businesses in this manner.
The woman should have been yelling at the cashier for paying part of her wages. That would likely be more accurate.
It is more a Walmart thing I think.
While most knockoff stuff I have tried can be pretty good while some being hit or miss in that area. Great Value brand seem like the worst offenders when it comes to food tasting nothing like it should.
The My Essentials brand is pretty good most times though.

Bank bailouts, tax breaks, exploitation of the system that allow them to make more/pay less.
"The rich" take money from "the rest" in a variety of ways.
Even putting that aside, do you honestly believe the work and skill rich people have are comparable to the money they make, relative to the wages of the rest of the population?
Of course they aren't. Nobody is so skilled and so hard working that a wage that is dozens, if not hundreds, of times greater then that of the average is actually "earned" in full. And where do you think that wage difference comes from, thin air? The rich make more as a result of the rest making less.
This is just dumb.People like you are why there is no incentive to get rich.
First, getting rich is the incentive. Second, assuming you simply misphrased your idea and meant that richness is no longer an incentive to work hard/strive for greatness/etc, being rich is still an enormous incentive. I was not suggesting wages should be equalized, just that the extreme wealth those at the top possess should be tuned down.

Sad thing is it isn't even the military directly wasting it, it is the private contractors they are whored out to. Basically using the military to funnel money from the government into private captive markets.
I used to know a friend who went overseas to cook for our troops. He made $75,000 for every 6 months he stayed overseas cooking for them while in what he described as "The Green Zone". Compared to the military there who made less.
I have known some people making transmissions for military vehicles, the made fucktons worth of cash off those contracts. He made $35 an hour and god knows what his superiors made. And the list goes on and on.
I am thinking if they started passing rules requiring the military to actually use troops to handle these things, the costs would drop like a rock along with much of the push for the military to do so much.
If the military started requiring soldiers to run the factories for their vehicles or making their own gear or barring private contractors for cooks and such and paying them such rates to do it, this would fix a lot of the issues.
But so long as private contractors are allowed to make so much off them while lobbying to do so, you will continue to see the military abused to funnel assets to private contractors.

I remember the first time I debated you, back then you actually had a train of thought behind you process. While I didn't agree with it most times, it at least had a thought process behind it and didn't rely entirely on rhetoric that doesn't mesh with reality.
In all honesty man, what happened? You are now debating from indefensible positions that ignore the reality of the situations entirely.
I am used to Orlong debating about stuff that is completely in LaLa Land, but I really expect better from you.

No sense crying over spilt beer, unless you're drunk...
Fun fact, my local Walmart, when I worked for them no clue about now, will not hire anyone under the age of 18. They said they aren't worth it because they aren't legally allowed to use all the equipment and such.
If they only want to pay high school wages, then they need at a minimum a tiered minimum wage system and they can then pay high school wages to high school students while dealing with all the crap of working around high school and sleep hours and possibly losing them at a moments notice over grades and such.
But the absolute minimum any job is actually worth is the cost of supporting the person doing it, I don't care if it is just pushing a broom or running a vacuum. If you can't afford to pay them enough to do the job, then you shouldn't be hiring for the job at all as evidently it doesn't need to be done. And if it does need to be done, then it is worth enough to provide the person doing it.
