Yes. A person must reside in the county in which an application is filed. Residence in a permanent dwelling or a fixed mailing address is not required." A permanent residence is not required to receive welfare benefits. There are county or state residency requirements, but those can be satisfied by the homeless. In Oakland, $5 will get you a two-shot latte. What is more important to a person in real need -- $5 or help in getting permanent housing, financial assistance, healthcare, etc., etc? You should become a community ambassador. https://www.alamedasocialservices.or...rs_program.cfm I know nothing about the lady you encountered, but I don't give money to the homeless on the street for three reasons (1) I'd go broke because there is a homeless person every ten feet downtown, and (2) it promotes behavior I dislike -- pan-handling, and (3) I have no control over how the money is spent, e.g. whether it goes to housing or drugs. I give my time and money to social service organizations and give professional help to people in the social services system. -- Jay Beattie. You have surprised no one that you don't give money to homeless. As a Democrat you prefer to give the money of other people. When I see people in need I do what I am personally capable of doing. I don't need to pay 15 layers of bureaucracy to shield me from the horrors. Remember the thing about giving a person a fish, etc., etc. BTW, I would be happy to compare my lifetime charitable giving -- including the dollar value of my pro bono work for the homeless and economically insecure -- to your lifetime charitable giving. We can also talk about the federal, state and property taxes I pay, including may self-employment tax which funds your social security payments. Then we can talk about the local business, transit and income taxes I pay. Then we can talk about the 40 people my partnership employs and who receive complete medical, retirement and LTD benefits -- and for whom we pay FICA, again funding your social security payments. The money "others" are giving away for social services came from (drum roll please) me and the other godforsaken Oregon Democrats who pay boat loads of taxes. Look at your social security check and say "thank you Democrats. Thank you for creating and preserving my Social Security benefits. Thank you for my Medicare Advantage Plan. Thank you for educating my children. Thank you for the GI Bill." Amen. I will do the same for the Republican-passed benefit programs that I receive. Kumbaya! -- Jay Beattie. |

I'm waiting for someone to shoot someone just because he has another opinion. Lou, here someone is allowed to be a socialist or even a communist or a fascist. Well, this is the "land of the free." To some, that translates as "No socialism allowed." Well, I would have to say that the U.S. with it's aid for unwed mothers, unemployment payments, and all the other "benefits", is well on the way toward socialism. In fact a good friend, who grew up in a communist Hungary, once commented that in the U.S. one could get paid for not working while in Hungary everyone had to work. -- Cheers John B. |

Accept that you are Pol Pot and move on. I can't be Pol Pot. I went to college and wear glasses. I'd have to kill myself. -- Jay Beattie Pol Pot went to college. He won a prestigious scholarship to study engineering in France. AJ Just the fax, mam I lived through the time of the communist expansion and its collapse. It is this second occurring in Venezuela which used to be the second richest country in the Americas. But communists are really not all that bright - if they look at history and they see socialism's absolute failure they can still blame it on the working capitalism in the rest of the world. Ah but Venezuela is a democratic country, not a communist country, if anything it might be called a fascist country. And the economic crash is largely a factor of depending almost solely on a single source of income - oil - while at the same time increasing welfare program and house building for the poor. . This of course made the government popular and ensured that voters would support the re-election of government officials - which it did. But unfortunately with a single source of income when oil prices sank so did the nation's income and instead of restricting the freebies the government simply printed more and more money. As there was plenty of currency in the system while at the same time less and less goods for sale the price of goods skyrocketed, exactly the same as Germany after WW I when the cost of a loaf of bread became 200,000,000,000 marks, as it did in 1923. What is it? Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it"? -- Cheers John B. As is usual from you, Fascism was "invented" by Gentilli and is a form of socialism but apparently are unaware that is was also an underpinning of the German National Socialists Party - NAZI. The term "Fascism" was first used in 1915 by members of Mussolini's movement, the Fasci of Revolutionary Action. And yes, Italian Fascism did influence Adolph's political theories. Venezuela was rich from its farm production and everyone was fed. After the socialists were voted in AS MOST SOCIALIST GOVERNMENTS ARE BY PROMISING TO GIVE EVERYONE THE MONEY OF SOMEONE ELSE all of the farm workers moved into the cities to live the good life on the buck of others. Farm produce fell to near zero and Venezuela became a net importer of food almost overnight. Oil prices fell because of massive discoveries elsewhere driving the prices down and the country went to hell. Prior to the 1950s and the initiation of large-scale oil exports, agriculture, fishing, and forestry were central to the Venezuelan economy, producing more than half the gross domestic product (GDP). However, In 1937, 88.8% of all arable land was owned by 4.8 per cent of the farming population while 57.7% of the farmers owned about 0.7% of the total extent of farm land. In 1998, it was found that 60 per cent of farm land was owned by less than one per cent of the population. 6 The five per cent of landowners who controlled the largest land holdings controlled more than 75 per cent of all landholdings in the countryside while the 75 per cent of land owners who controlled the smallest land holdings covered about 5 per cent of all farm land. So your imagined utopia of happy farmers is just a tiny bit erroneous. The facts are that they were either share-croppers or subsistence farmers and the money from exports went largely into the pockets of a tiny percentage of the population.. But you are correct that just as in the U.S. when jobs became available many left the land to take jobs in industry and because of the oil wealth, Venezuelan workers "enjoyed the highest wages in Latin America". Then came the crash in oil prices in the 1980's and GDP fell through the floor. -- Cheers John B. |
