The bit bucket

Interesting, Fred can post his opinions in the main thread with impunity, but my opinion of his posts and what he may, or may not, know about poverty in urban settings is not allowed. The Bob's conservative safe haven is alive and well.

carry on....................

Both parents work and file their income tax forms as single head of household with the IRS. Their combined incomes would definitely disqualify them to be classified in the poverty class, but separately they qualify. So they get food stamps, free school lunches, and all sorts of public assistance. And they vote for their entitlements. I would suspect that many of them are members of these forums.

I believe that is a form of slander against some members of this forum with NO PROOF whatsoever. But I suspect Bob will let your posts remain.

Well done, archer. Now, address the substance of what I have posted.

Nope that is absolutely a false statement meant to intentionally mislead posters and distort from the truth.

Nope, that is what is happening in the U.S. today after the destruction of marriage. Everyone is working the angles.

There was no substance in what you posted.

It is odd that Bob let your post remain, archer.

Perhaps he let it stay because it quoted your post....that way he could both move your post to appear even handed and yet let your slander remain. Pretty clever actually. Yeah, I know, I could just edit mine and remove yours altogether.

It is interesting that here in Bob's World, posts are removed for pointing outright lies and slander while the lies and slander are allowed to stay. For example, one would have to be incredibly stupid to believe that it is possible for two individuals, receiving separate W-2 forms from their respective employers could then combine both W-2 forms in order to file as a single head of household. Or is that such statements were obviously meant to distort the truth and render this thread absolutely worthless? And then those statements are used to slander members of the forum. But here in Bob's World, such distinctions are meaningless as long as they are by conservatives.
