Oh, and while you are actually looking at the data, you might take a glance at how tax revenues are paid, and just who isn't paying what they are used to.
That line matters too. Some groups are being quite deficient.

It may not be racism, per se. But it is discrimination.
I think Matt Taibbi summed it up pretty well. It's narcissism:
LAWRENCE O'DONNELL: Matt, before we get to the transformation, one of the central questions about the Tea Party, and one of the accusations that flies around, is that this is a racist group – predominantly racist group, partially racist group, or more racist than your average collection on a subway car in New York City. You've been in and among them. What's the answer to the Tea Party racist question?
MATT TAIBBI, Rolling Stone magazine: My answer is it's not so much about hating black people for these people, I think it's more about believing in this preposterous fantasy that white people are some kind of oppressed minority in the age of Obama. And I don't know whether that's racism, but it is just incredibly stupid. And that's really my answer. I think there's not that much overt racism, clearly race is a factor in almost all of their political views. But it's really more like a collective narcissistic –
O'DONNELL: They're working without a historical framework for anyone else's experience except their own and their own families. And that's what you're calling the kind of the narcissistic view of our politics.
TAIBBI: They really believe in this sort of idea that they're this persecuted, oppressed people and they have no frame of reference about anybody else's experience and they also don't have any sense of how their rhetoric is received by the rest of the country. Just think of the whole idea of a tea party: if they're the Tea Partiers, people like you and me are redcoats, you know, we're literally not Americans, we're un-American. And they really believe that.

You should really go investigate the costs of things. Ignorance of how these programs work, their benefits and their costs is no excuse any more. Nor is understanding how taxes are paid.
This notion that the poor are the problem is just amazingly asinine. I thought we'd learned that shit, but I guess not.
What's the etiquette on this? If the prospective groom breaks off the engagement, the bride can keep the ring, right? Can he keep their 'campaign contributions'?
My iPhone irritated me today by not recognising 'dicl' as 'dick'. For one, I know several people who use that as a diminutive of Richard. I could have been addressing them, and please capitalise the first letter of their name. For two, I swear quite often. I expect that my dear friend iPhone, with me at all hours, would know that.

Powerful people clearly gaming the system for their benefit.
Yeah, sorry, my sense of justice is that it is not being served.

Go add up the cost of the bailouts.
Then go add up how much social programs cost per year.
It isn't hard

Just finance it publicly. Cheaper. Better.
Pay the politicians more so that their interests are aligned with their jobs.

Not just got a modicum of food, which is seemingly the most offensive. Rather it's rich assholes buying themselves legislation.

Note the scorn. Obviously, those who are on assistance aren't 'honest'.
Roughly 50% of the people who are in the SNAP program are children. We should penalize them for not choosing better parents.
We should ensure that they don't have a chance.
Just, wow.

It doesn't hold up to scrutiny and statistics, but don't expect them to care. It's all 'fish stories'.
