Democrats have made a living playing blacks. Joe Biden's comment "They gon' put y'all back in chains" has shone a light on a truth the Democratic Party and its adjutants in the media have suppressed for over half a century. That is that the party's electoral victories have been built upon the suppression of the aspirations of many of the ... MORE

Roger D. Luchs: Hope And Chains
Democrats have made a living playing blacks. Joe Biden's comment "They gon' put y'all back in chains" has shone a light on a truth the Democratic Party and its adjutants in the media have suppressed for over half a century. That is that the party's electoral victories have been built upon the suppression of the aspirations of many of the ... MORETed Nugent: Mitt Romney Was Right About The 47%
Americans are too dependent on Fedzilla. Mitt Romney
hit the bull’s-eye with his comments regarding the 47 percent of
Americans who do not have any skin in the game as it pertains to paying
federal income tax. Facts are facts. Mr. Romney is not backing down. Good. The truth is the truth and it’s long past time someone said it. As I’ve written ... MOREGovernment Dependency Rises, Number Of Taxpayers Fall
Rx for disaster: More spending, but fewer paying. The leak of a video featuring former Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) has sparked debate about government dependency and the number of people in the United States who do not pay federal income tax. In the video, Romney refers to “47 percent” of Americans and says that they are “dependent ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Defense Of Romney's "47%" Comment
Sometimes, the truth hurts. As readers of this column and viewers of Fox News Channel may know, I have not hesitated to criticize Gov. Mitt Romney's presidential campaign and the governor himself. I have argued that his message is muddled and his values are unknown beyond his ardent wish to improve economic conditions through the use of free ... MORE
Washington Times: Obama's Moocher Culture
Obama voters want gravy train to keep flowing. The liberal media went wild over a video of Mitt Romney saying people who pay no taxes and live off government handouts have no reason to vote for him. Left unsaid is that Barack Obama has been running on exactly that platform. When it comes to the culture of dependency, President ... MOREThomas Sowell: Depending On Dependency
Shameless, but effective. The theme that most seemed to rouse the enthusiasm of delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte was that we are all responsible for one another — and that Republicans don't want to help the poor, the sick and the helpless. All of us should be on guard against beliefs that flatter ourselves. At the ... MORERep. Tom Graves: Obama Increases Dependency
It’s called “mountain pride.” For generations, it has pulsed through the bloodstream of just about every resident in the Appalachian hills of North Georgia, the place where I grew up and still call home. Mountain pride is defined by self-reliance. It means that when times get tough, families persevere, turning quietly only to a church or a neighbor for help. ... MOREMichael G. Franc: 'Keep That Pay Raise, I Can't Afford It'
Welfare's upside-down incentive. Does our $927 billion–per–year welfare state discourage the poor from seeking work? Does it cause them to shun pay hikes? Does it, in short, create dependency? This may be the most intractable problem afflicting the welfare state. With a renewed interest in the Clinton-era welfare reform and President Obama’s recent ... MOREWalter E Williams: Gross Ignorance For The Underclass
The welfare state is an equal opportunity destroyer. Anthony Daniels, who writes under the pen name Theodore Dalrymple, is a retired prison doctor and psychiatrist who tells of his experiences with his patients in "Life at the Bottom." It's an insightful book of essays about the self-destructive behavior and attitudes of the underclass. In one essay ... MOREJohn Hinderaker: Is Welfare Spending Futile?
That’s the question raised by this chart, plotting federal welfare spending against the poverty rate. When President Johnson announced the War on Poverty, he said his intention was to abolish poverty in America. That hasn’t happened, of course. And I doubt that any liberal today would proclaim such a goal. Today, welfare spending is mainly a way to funnel dollars into the pockets of Democratic Party constituencies; therefore, for Democrats, the more the better, with no end in sight or even desired. The explosion in ... MORE
Michelle Malkin: Julia Embodies Obama's Ideal Citizen
Completely dependent on government. Quick, hide under the covers. The nation’s storyteller, Barack Obama, unveiled a frightening new fable on the Internet intended to scare women away from supporting fiscal conservatives in November. But as is increasingly common with Obama’s social-media propaganda initiatives, “The Life of Julia” immediately ... MOREJohn Merline: Dependency Index Surges Under Obama
Up a whopping 23 percent to 67 million citizens. The American public's dependence on the federal government shot up 23% in just two years under President Obama, with 67 million now relying on some federal program, according to a newly released study by the Heritage Foundation. The conservative think tank's annual Index of ... MOREDavid Harsanyi: Saving The Middle Class By Enslaving It
The promise of Obama. In Teddy Roosevelt's era, President Barack Obama explained to the nation this week, "some people thought massive inequality and exploitation was just the price of progress....But Roosevelt also knew that the free market has never been a free license to take whatever you want from whoever you can." And he's right. Even today there are people who ... MOREThomas Sowell: The 'Hunger' Hoax
Another lesson in political deception. Twenty years ago, hysteria swept through the media over "hunger in America." Dan Rather opened a CBS Evening News broadcast in 1991 declaring, "one in eight American children is going hungry tonight." Newsweek, the Associated Press and the Boston Globe repeated this statistic, and many others joined the media chorus, with or ... MORE
