I'm sure that you or someone in your family is getting some kind of public assistance... Let's not play games...

Fritz Gilmore said:You spend years begging consumers to patronize your business or service. Once you reach a certain level of success you feel that you should just sit back on your money and tell consumers whom have supported your cause to just pull up your boot straps. You call that logical? Without consumers there could be no rich... The door swings both ways…
Cissy Williamson-Brown said:If I am poor and I am receiving free Federal assistance, then why am I complaining? Because I want MORE FREE FEDERAL ASSISTANCE? If I get half of my Free Federal assistance, then guess what? I am still getting FREE FEDERAL ASSISTANCE and what a great country we live in !!!The last time I checked, no one is forced to buy anything in this country, except of course the new OBAMACARE !! The rich don't sell air! They sell a product and people do not have to buy it. The boycott is a very useful tool. EXCEPT those at the other end are mainly THE CHINESE !!! Don't want to anger them! They hold too much of our debt. DEBT, now could that be our nemesis and not the rich or corporate oligarchs?The begging bowl could be bigger if we had not so much DEBT?

As long as we pay taxes we should not only put pressure on the government but we should stop buying certain products to get our point across.

Cissy Williamson-Brown said:That is the answer! Food pantries and soup kitchens! The people supporting each other rather than depending on the government. What is wrong with that model? It teaches compassion and love. That is what makes a strong country. The people united and caring about one another. I think a man named JESUS teaches something along this line...
Bite the hand that feeds you..Where would we be if the rich just left? Who would pay taxes and what about the philanthropy? How much charity comes from the middle and lower class? I say not enough. Help one another and there is much reward because it is sustainable!

Thank You: CBC & Congresswomen Maxine Water, Barbara Lee and Sheila Jackson Lee for having tough skin and not letting this mainstream media suck you in. I agree the President came off like one of us a man who cares, a man who is aware and if we don’t get on board we would really be pulling out our hairs.
Thank you for not giving in to headlines like Tavis Smiley who has seemed to do a lot of the whining. Message to Tavis, in case you did not read my blog to Dr. West, when you go around talking about the President is not supporting the Black Community, that is a lie, it is also a form of complaining because you are upset with him for whatever reason other than what you are really complaining about or as you try to change it to Grieving about.
This is the time to let things play out not get into a bout with the one person who is truly trying to help us out. It is ok, to complain if you Gay, or Jew, or just being you Tavis Smiley but the things that I have been hearing you complain about is not worth the breath you spout. Please stop this nonsense trying to put our President in a pinch. As if you are the only one who really don’t understand, and please don’t blame this on being a Black man. Start using positive words like -Yes We Can.
The End- One Luv Brother MoPoDC

Please stop humping the President Leg.You know a liar when you see one . The President is not a fine wine. He more like a Boone's Farm or Ripple.He had his Sister Souljah moments with the CBC and the Black Community. For 28 months he have used The Black Community as a past particles in a sentence fragment.He have thrown a lots of his supporters under the bus. He have hippie punch and calling some of his supporter retards.The people in the Black Community is already angry. He decided to poke them with a stick by telling them to"take off you slippers and stop complaining" Where was the urgency of now before all the lying started. We got 2% the Republican 98%. Now he pivoting back to jobs. If he keeps pivoting he might meet himself. I guess the O bots like you forgot the rest off us did finished the third grade. My wallet can not take any more" hope , change, we are who we been waiting for and win the future". I did not help elect him to be bipartisan . I help elect him to look out for my interest.He now telling the republicans that the programs he trying to past is their ideas. I voted for a Democrat not a republican .We got 2% this time. Now he talking about share sacrifice. I guess that 2% is to much for the Black Community. This President want to use Black people as gator bait in one of them old Tarzan Movies. No thanks, let him tied a rope around the O bots and your waist.

How about the words "Yes we can, and we are now Independents !" It would do the black community a giant advantage to vote as Independents in the elections from now on. THEN, REPS and DEMS would pay attention !

Well. ..I would rather be flexible because times do change. It seems DEMS and REPS stubbornly cling to their status quo even if it is totally illogical to do so at the time. For instance, DEMS pathologically are opposed to entitlement reform, even at the cost of them going broke in a few years! Now that's just INSANE! DEMS want to increase taxes during our economic meltdown and that's just STUPID!

Dems are not opposed to entitlement reform and Dems knows that Social Security is based on personal contribution and it has not added to the debt. Why those that are on Medicare and Medicaid are forced to cuts, when they are -already struggling? ESP since the word is those in office has been borrowing from Social Security in the 1st place.
As far Taxes increasing on the Rich, that is something that is over- due, If they were going to do something to help us or America, then they should have done it when they were getting all of those tax cuts/ subsidies, and loop holes breaks, instead of making a millions of dollar profits and then cutting the people that helped them get there. One Luv- MoPoDC, join me :)

Once again, INSANITY of making USA tax unfriendly to the rich and corporations who will just take their businesses overseas even more than they do now. REAL SMART. No wonder China laughs at our stupidity and their economy makes over $500 BILLION off of the US every year and climbing. USA makes practically nothing overseas. There will come a time when America will have to BEG corporations and the rich to come to our declining country. AND what will the USA do to lure businesses and rich to this country? TAX BREAKS and incentives just as the STATES USE NOW !! Are we sooooo arrogant to think in 20 years ALL of our businesses that are not nailed to the floor WILL NOT GO to INDIA, CHINA, AFRICA to save on COSTS? I say the TAX CRAZY citizens will be in for a COMEUPPANCE !!!!

One again, they took their businesses overseas during the time they were paying the lowest tax rate ever, not counting the tax-breaks. So now we should be hostages to them so that they can continue to have the best of both worlds while stock piling their money away while America suffers.
They & you should be doing what’s good for the country but instead their selfish behavior has driven this economy & the American people to the state we are in today, not President Obama or the Democratic Party.
You know this & everyone else knows this, but instead you want to blame parties and do name calling as if that is your way of skirting the real issues.
By the way, am I to believe that you are representing the independents with this way of thinking that you presenting to me?
If so, then you sound more like those people who wants to continue to grow bigger & bigger of the backs of our Senior Citizen, Teachers, schools & kid's education.Wake up, the true sign that shows you care, is not there. In case you are not aware, your action speak loud & clear MoPoDC

"Watch how the big corporate, oligarchic and plutocratic money flows into his campaign because thay know the real deal"
Yes, Dr. West, they know the real deal. And how will the money flow into his campaign? Via the DNC perhaps? The same DNC formerly headed by Howard Dean? You know, the same guy who was your friend and dear brother on last week's show! It seems you know the real deal too!
I'm starting to see the real deal myself. I congratulate you on finding a way to monetize your personality, how's that working out by the way? $200k/yr? $300k/yr? More? I have no problem with rich folks, like you, with a moral sense. But don't get it twisted brother, you ain't one of US and you don't speak for US! Perhaps its better if you stick with the other rich folks and academic eggheads, collecting your speaking fees, performing for the nearest camera, and talking about 'interdependence' or whatever other nonsense that has NO meaningful impact on the lives of the poor and unfortunate whose plight you trade on.
