The Democratic Party used to call itself the party of working people and hail the “dignity of work.” No more. Now Democrats want to guarantee people who choose not to work an income funded by the suckers who show up for employment, care for their families and pay taxes.
Fortunately, these self-supporting Americans just dodged a bullet. The failure of Build Back Better to pass in Congress, thanks to holdout Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), means that the monthly checks or automatic bank deposits to parents with kids — sometimes dubbed Biden Bucks — come to an end this month. (Though progressives haven’t given up on trying to revive them some other way.)
For working people, the monthly payments were merely an advance on their tax refunds. But parents who choose not to work have been getting no-strings money to support their nonworking lifestyles.
Using the pretext of pandemic relief, Democrats who enacted the American Rescue Plan in March changed a feature of the tax code — the child tax credit available to adults who work and pay taxes — into a grant paid unconditionally and monthly to almost all adults with kids, whether they work or not.
Democrats have been pushing to extend the free monthly payments through 2022 as part of the Build Back Better Act, with a plan to make them permanent.
Manchin saw right through what his party intended: a socialist-style universal basic income. Manchin objected to the unconditional monthly cash grants: “There’s no work requirement whatsoever. Don’t you think if we’re going to help the children,” he asked, the parents “should make some effort?”
So what about the Democratic Party that represents working people? President Joe Biden still talks the talk. “My dad used to say, ‘Joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It’s about your dignity. It’s about respect. It’s about your place in the community.’”
But Biden’s party is no longer walking that walk. As Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) told the House Ways and Means Committee during a debate over Build Back Better, “the so-called dignity of work — that’s like hearing a fingernail on a chalkboard.” New York magazine’s Eric Levitz calls Manchin’s work-ethic convictions “contemptible.”
Sorry, but most Americans don’t want to support the moochers.
Advocates of the monthly payments hail them as “already a huge success” for lifting millions of children out of poverty. Nonsense. That’s what a working parent does. The national poverty rate fell temporarily, but the payments didn’t solve the problem of parents without the mindset to support their children.
“So what about the Democratic Party that represents working people? President Joe Biden still talks the talk. “My dad used to say, ‘Joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It’s about your dignity. It’s about respect. It’s about your place in the community.’”” It’s been 50 years since idiot Biden HAD a job. At his current job, he only puts in 20 to 30 hrs a week and fails at everything. Apparently, he never imparted this wisdom to his little boy, Hunter.
And that sums up the Democrat’s view of working for a living. People pay them to speak or lend their name to an agenda. They get paid to be for something and they get paid to be against something. They make money, hand over fist, without breaking a sweat, so they have no understanding of sweating to make a living. Cynically, they take money from those who work to buy votes from those who don’t.
Will the Unions still support the Democrats for killing jobs and putting the whole nation under welfare?
The union leadership will. Union leadership is in it for the union leadership, not the workers.
This is all part of a big, big globalist plan.
Releasing Covid was just the beginning.
A Right to Work LAW IS Whats needed quit forcing workers into joining some corrupt union
JoeBob has an interesting family history of Young playboy, Biden Sr. was initially wealthy, “sailing yachts off the New England coast, riding to the hounds, driving fast cars, flying airplanes. ne’er do well boozer Dad that couldnt find a job after the war despite a booming 50s economy dumped the kids for a bit on the grand parents, then Pops became a used car salesman, not seeing that as a very good job, below the stature of a senators Father he quit and became part of JoeBobs campaign no means of income listed afterward he died a boozer. Nothing is written of his grand parents, perhaps Marie Claire was kind enough to leave out any sordid details.
We already know Joe has zero respect for the working man, growling in one hard hats face “I dont work for you”.
Living off the government grifting from crooked businesses that grant campaign funds and prizes for the grifting family members.
Maybe your far-right masters are resisting efforts to control COVID because they see it as a means of reducing the non-productive population. If you reduce the population dependent on social programs you not only reduce costs; you also make it easier to eliminate the programs.

When someone begins ranting about “welfare”, no one should listen until they’ve clearly stated specifically what “welfare” they’re talking about.
Looks like the boomer and older generation, 100 trillion and more in wealth, most likely conservative voting. Least likely to be marxist leaning politically. Targeted by 5 Democrat Governors in bio attacks. Targeted by Fauxi for the death jabs.
If you cant question the “science” its pure propaganda. If the product of their “science” has full immunity and the research wont be released for 50 years, they must be shielding something they know is wrong. Its like the Pharma companies wrote the deal, we know who they donate to.
Greg who are the base of the Democrats, who puts them in power? We also know why Manchin is being attacked. Worry not you have Mitch and his china doll wife in the Marxist back pockets.
“Greg who are the base of the Democrats, who puts them in power?” Mostly copy machines.
Copy machines, igloo coolers, zip drives, and Eric Coomer.
Read the article and stop ranting your predigested talking points that confirm you have no thoughts of your own.
“Maybe your far-right masters are resisting efforts to control COVID because they see it as a means of reducing the non-productive population. ” Um… I believe it is you Democrats that are killing people in droves.
Per the Texas Department of State Health, from September 4 through October 1, 2021:
• Unvaccinated people were 13 times more likely to become infected with COVID-19 than fully vaccinated people.
• Unvaccinated people were 20 times more likely to experience COVID-19-associated death than fully vaccinated people.
https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunize/covid19/data/cases-and-deaths-by-vaccination-status-11082021.pdf
Obviously those advocating vaccination are promoting life, while those who propagandize against it are promoting death.
Advocating vaccines is fine. I advocate vaccines. FORCING them on people who may be harmed is stupid.
Idiot Biden has failed miserably, just as we knew he would.
Your masters have literally killed people by suppressing and blocking legal and safe treatments for Covid-19.
Trump promoted both taking the vaccine and using Covid-19 treatments. Most Trump voters who are at-risk of dying from the virus, 65 and older, are vaxxed.
Any more asinine statements your handlers want you to propagandize?
No, you’ve got any need for asinine statements adequately covered, I think.
the village idiot just does not under science. Vacines have worked in the past because they were comprised of a live or dead virus that stimulated the body to create antibodies against the real virus. These antibodies remained for many years and protected the person from the intended disease. The MRNA is not a true vaccine no matter how the CDC changes the definition. It has not proven to protect people from the disease nor prevented them from spreading the disease. Also, due to the nature of the MRNA, it does more to the body than creates anti-bodies. There is valid evidence that the MRNA causes Myocarditis that greatly reduces the life span of the patient and creates health issues during the life span. This MRNA is also not recommended by the inventor for use with children under 15 years old because it causes perennate health issues.
So if the survivability of COVID exceeds 99% without an MRNA shot and the MRNA has been proven to cause adverse health affects and does not prevent catching COVID nor spreading of COVID, then there is valid concerns in taking the MRNA by healthy people. There is more concerns here than death. Quality of life is also an issue.
So greggie the village idiot, maybe you need to under epidemiology and stats more before you start making radical statements that confirm you status as the village idiot!
Data indicates that people who don’t get the “phony” vaccine are 20 times more likely to die of COVID.
Of course the report is from the Texas Department of State Health Services, so you might not trust it.
Another asinine statement. If you are unvaxxed, and get COVID, you get treated. Pretending the vax is our only tool is demonic…and very suspect.
Why are you forcing a vaccine for a low-risk, low death virus made in 3rd world China?
No one know what the long term effects of the jab, have you never seen a commercial for class actions against fully FDA approved and fully tested Pharma products? Huge lawfirms get bigger every day.

They are after our Children with this EXPERIMENTAL Jab, want to MANDATE it for school. The school boards have already pressed to label concerned parents as Terrorists. They lose sleep over not being able to authorize gay porn in school libraries and letting out the curriculum for parents. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn too vulgar for the leftists.
Again who are the Democrat base? Can the party survive allowing the States to run elections, and obeying the laws? Federal control is unconstitutional.
” Can the party survive allowing the States to run elections, and obeying the laws? Federal control is unconstitutional.” I guess the only thing the federal government has the solution for is fair and equitable elections.
Your Federal Government just cut off their support and said they can’t help.
They’ve pulled Monoclonal Antibody treatments saying it won’t help against Omicron.
The vaccine is not the only way to prevent death from Covid, and you idiots can’t tell us why you’re cult-like obsession with forcing this one particular and now outdated vaccine even exists.
The Jab is not vaccine, it is experimental gene therapy, it also isnt effective against omicron as it came here on a plane from jabbed boostered passengers. They got caught lying again about it being the dominate strain. We are suppose to forget all the lies of the top media whore, never question Fauci and the science he says he represents.
Now taking a proven treatment because it like the jab isnt effective, they are lying again.
As everyone can see even Greg cant defend this.
“Unvaccinated people were 13 times more likely to become infected with COVID-19 than fully vaccinated people.
Unvaccinated people were 20 times more likely to experience COVID-19-associated death than fully vaccinated people.”
And what percentage of illegals that Bejing Biden is allowing to cross into Texas tested positive for the Kung flu, Comrade Greggie? And what percentage of those illegals were given the jab?
Biden ships Covid positive illegals to Texas and Florida and you express absolute glee over the fact that the Chinese created disease is increasing the number of positive cases in those two states.
Tell us, what happened to the plan Soft Serve Joey was offered for 732 million Covid home tests in October? Oh, that’s right; Soft Serve Joey turned it down?
You are nothing more than a bag of excrement.
Pandemic of the vaccinated
Typically deceptive spin from the Koch Institute that fails to mention a critical fact: 89% of the German population has been vaccinated. It follows that a high percentage of positives that are detected are more likely TO BE vaccinated.
They also don’t bother to mention Germany’s low daily COVID infection rate of 224 people per 100,000, compared with a US daily COVID infection rate of 620 per 100,000.
https://graphics.reuters.com/world-coronavirus-tracker-and-maps/countries-and-territories/germany/
https://graphics.reuters.com/world-coronavirus-tracker-and-maps/countries-and-territories/united-states/
Nor do they bother to mention that those positive for COVID who were not vaccinated are FAR MORE LIKELY to be hospitalized and die than the unvaccinated. The Texas Department of Health Services has calculated that an unvaccinated person who contracts COVID is 20 TIME MORE LIKELY TO DIE than a vaccinated person.
So, what do you think their motive for misleading the public in this fashion might be???
December 30, 2021 – Omicron surge is ‘unlike anything we’ve ever seen,’ expert says
—
An unprecedented spike in Covid-19 cases fueled by the fast-moving Omicron variant is crushing hospitals across the United States, with doctors describing packed emergency rooms as health experts implore New Year’s Eve revelers to keep parties small and outdoors to help avert an even worse surge.
“It’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen, even at the peak of the prior surges of Covid,” Dr. James Phillips, who works in Washington, DC, said Wednesday, when the nation hit a new pandemic high of 300,886 average new daily cases over the prior week, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
“What we’re experiencing right now is an absolute overwhelming of the emergency departments” in Washington, Phillips, chief of disaster medicine at George Washington University Hospital, told CNN’s Jim Acosta.
It’s a scene playing out across the country as record case counts are reported from New Jersey and New York to Chicago, where hospital bed capacity also is a concern. In Arizona and New Mexico, federal medical personnel have deployed to provide Covid-19 surge support. And in Georgia, six major health systems with recent 100% to 200% jumps in Covid-19 hospitalizations — with most patients unvaccinated — joined to publicly urge people to seek coronavirus testing elsewhere so their emergency rooms can focus on those with critical needs…

“December 30, 2021 – Omicron surge is ‘unlike anything we’ve ever seen,’ expert says”
Sure.
The myth of overrun hospitals because of unvaxxed patients doesn’t jibe with reality.
This is part of the plan to socialize medicine over the pretense of a crisis and pandemic that does not exist.
Overrun hospitals and healthcare worker burnout IS reality, the same as 822 thousand US COVID fatalities, the rapidly mounting effects of climate change, and a pro-Trump mob violently assaulting the Capitol on January 6.
The far right denies denial itself.
Blame China. They created and released the virus and a responsible for all the deaths.
China is the chief polluter of the world, while the US reduced its CO2 output under Trump far past anything required of the Paris climate accords.
China uses the same type of false flags and Miss information to create division and give reasons to fall asleep arrest those who do not follow the regime.
If only there was a far right in America. There’s really not.
Only a Marxist left acting like China.
greggie, as long a hospital receive additional funds for treating people who test for COVIV (different than suffering from COVID) hospitals are going to fill as many beds as possible. Also, they are suffering from mandates demanding the firing health care workers who are not vaccinated even though they have been working for well over a year in a COVID environment. These conditions are prevalent in cities and states run by democrats. As far as climate change, you cemented your role as the sky is falling village idiot, too. You really enjoy supporting theories that have very little or no support by FACTS.
So if you’re vaxxed, you are have a 99.999% chance of surviving Covid.
If you are not vaxxed, you have a 99.99% chance of surviving Covid, and a 100% chance if doctors and hospitals actually treated you with intentionally suppressed drugs.
Got it.
History will show how horrible this sham pandemic and vaccine grift really is.
Omicron, a mild common cold.
Denial, not just a river in Egypt.

I seem to remember your track record on denying the defund police too.

I bet you can’t find a past post where I advocated defunding the police.
Denial. It’s not just a river in Egypt.
What would we expect from someone who supports a man flip-flopping on almost every promise he made just before being installed in the WH?
Not a very compelling argument. Perhaps you can produce some science and logical analysis rather than regurgitating propaganda from a totalitarian state.
In the meantime I’ll keep my constitutional rights and you can pretend that you care about people while you fight to make their lives a living hell.
as the village idiot greggie, you likely believe that there is a river in Egypt called Denial. What an intelligent reply!
Considering Trump-Era programs were saving poor people’s lives and getting people out of poverty, your statement falls flat on it’s face.
This is about getting people dependent.
Trump gave life. Biden is literally killing hundreds of thousands.
