  •  
    Halting Taxpayer-Funded Welfare for Killers of the Unborn The disastrous 1973 Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, thrust abortion-on-demand upon the nation, resulting in the deaths of millions of unborn babies every year. But that isn't enough for the abortionists. They also want taxpayers to pay for it.

  •  
    This article describes how some legislators are trying to pass drug testing for TANF applicates. Florida has already passed the law and feel that it is unfair for taxpayers to subsidize drug addictions. I am a firm believer in this and think that it should be mandated.

New York Allows Same-Sex Marriage, Becoming Largest State to Pass Law - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • I apologize for those who feel offended,” Mr. Grisanti said, adding, “I cannot deny a person, a human being, a taxpayer, a worker, the people of my district and across this state, the State of New York, and those people who make this the great state that it is the same rights that I have with my wife.

      This statement by Mr. Grisanti, who once opposed same sex marriage, brings forth very valid points; other than their sexual preferences - same sex couples live their lives and abide by the same laws that heterosexual couples do.

Drug Testing Welfare Recipients - 0 views

  •  
    A brief overview of the drug testing experiment of welfare recipient in three states and a brief reflection on history of charities and events.
  •  
    This is great idea but I have to agree that it is an invasion of privacy. Also stereotyping. If you drug test all welfare applicants then it is part of the process, just as you are drug tested for employment. I agree that many abuse the system but not because they are drug users but because they know how to get away with it.

  •  
    This article is a bash on the ObamaCare plan. It states that in places like Massachussetts and Maine the taxpayers are paying 20 percent more than they used to because they are also paying for others' medical bills. Many also say that Obama is trying to support "free riders" and is not making everyone be responsible for themselves.
