LOL!!! I can't say it loud enough! LOL!!! The "Cato institute" report ends with a whining diatribe about how the co author was deported back to the UK!!!! Talk about having a bias!!!!!! And after reading both reports, it is crystal clear that ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS USE FAR MORE WELFARE TYPE PROGRAMS than citizens per person. period. You can say as a Progressive that is good because those poor people need help, but PLEASE don't try and deny the facts. And the funniest part of the rebuttal to me was the fact that the rebuttal author says the study is flawed because it counts children of the illegals who are on welfare as not counting as an illegal being on welfare. Since the children are now of course deemed legal. As if the author didn't understand the POINT is that illegal immigration leads to more people on welfare!!!!!! Even if the children are now 'legal' people on welfare!!!! Still stunning is that 1/3 of all households are on some form of government assistance...... |

The goal of the system seems to be to get as many people dependent as possible. The President is a fink. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | Seems like it would be higher than 1/3. I consider a tax credit for children government assistance. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Just enough to ensure their election while the rest of us pull the cart. The President is a fink. |

I'll disagree. The tax credit for children is just part of the formula for figuring out who pays how much. I don't consider taking less from someone truly government assistance, just as I don't consider my using my NY State taxes as a deduction Federal 'government assistance' because I pay slightly less Federal taxes because of my state taxes. |

Wall Street Rule for the #MeToo Era: Avoid Women at All Cost "No more dinners with female colleagues. Don’t sit next to them on flights. Book hotel rooms on different floors. Avoid one-on-one meetings. In fact, as a wealth adviser put it, just hiring a woman these days is “an unknown risk.” What if she took something he said the wrong way? Across Wall Street, men are adopting controversial strategies for the #MeToo era and, in the process, making life even harder for women." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-03/a-wall-street-rule-for-the-metoo-era-avoid-women-at-all-cost Men are always looking for an excuse to bring back the mens club days anyway, thanks #metoo ladies! If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

If babies are an investment, we have illegals trying to bring their "gold" across the border. Not to mention the value of anchor babies. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
