Republicans & Hand-outs & Entitlements

by Rev. Wayne Perryman

Republican's boast that they are the party that believes that if you work hard instead of sitting around asking for handouts, you will be successful and experience the American dream. But what they will not say is that: they believe in hand-outs for those that are accepted and connected, but not for those who are not.

The Tea Party Road Map

By Talk American Guest Writer - Lisa Miller


In the September issue of the "New Guard", Congressman Paul Ryan mapped out his plan to reclaim the American Idea. As a Tea Party leader it was necessary to respond with an alternative Tea Party Roadmap. The most challenging task is to confront our ballooning and unsustainable entitlements and other usurped government spending from State and local governments, commerce, charity and the individual.


Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid grew to an unsustainable level through the legislature’s lack of prudent fiscal responsiveness to increased life spans and political pressures that expanded care under Medicare and Medicaid without regard to the costs. I submit these programs should never have been anything more than minimal fully portable safety net protections executed through private products. The conflict arose when the government decided to run these programs.
