Don't ask what you can do for your country, but ask what your country (those who actually pay taxes) can do for you.

The Democrats sure have changed since Kennedy was president.

What exactly was the point of feminism? Seems that all it has gotten women is the right for women to give free bl*w J**s and get free birth control and instead of being dependent on men to support their children, they are dependent on the government.

Seems like all it has accomplished is given men a free pass to not worry about supporting their children or the women who breed them.

Republicans war on women?? What about Planned Parenthoods war on babies?

So we are to believe from liberals that minorities and women are not smart or capable enough to take care of themselves and need the government to care for their every need. Seems like it's the liberals who are racist and don't think much about women.

Thank you

Unfortunately not enough people will read this. Mr Obama is destroying our nation and everything we have fought for (what my son has fought for). Women I have talked to think a lot like Julia and have no idea of the truth. Perhaps all citizens sHould stop paying taxes, not work for a living, get a free education ,etc. then we could let Hollywood pay far everything . After all they love Mr Obama and his policies . I would love to see illegals move next door to them with all the free housing given out. There goes the neighborhood !! Perhaps I'm being to

judgemental but things have to change in our country before we become Europe

The stupid republican jihadists should move to the middle east where they could really get off oppressing and subjugating women.

Can you believe that the republican party has become just another fruitcake cult of skinheads, red-necks, mentally -challenged lemmings and anal rich flow tubes.

My thoughts - why the he'll am I paying taxes if not to help the Julias. So it's okay to pay that do nothing Congress? . My mom was a Julia that was under educated, struggled to raise us after dear old dad dumped us, and worked two jobs for thirty-five years - and no, did not take welfare or food stamps. Now she is 96 and I thank the state I live in for the help she gets with her piddling 1000 a month from SS She is comfortable and well cared for. I'll pay taxes to help someone out anytime. And be thankful I make enough to do so. This selfish society will be our undoing.

If you think that giving equal opportunities to anybody is communism, than the country where I live is even more communist than the old Ussr. I tell you one thing. If you republicans keep going campaigning like that you will lose again. Because the middle class know that the Reagan and Bush years have completely destroyed them. Leaving them in disgrace with little hope not only for their future, but also for they kids future.

It is true that the US are a great country and it is the land of opportunities. I do not see any wrong if someone become rich because his own skills and hard work become rich. It deserves it. But I see two mainly thing wrong. First not all have the skills and or the luck to become rich, even if they hard work. This people deserve anyway a FREE health system and a decent pension, because also this people contribute with they hard work to the greatness of you nation.

And the filthy rich that made loads of money just playing with numbers and that have put your nation in deep problems should deserve nothing less that having all their possession taken away from both the State and Federal government

If you do not think this is communism and Marxism, you need to go back to the tenth and eleventh grade again because you did not learn anything the first go 'round.

Let’s present a more realistic view of Obama’s Julia’s life:

By Ed Morrissey

---age 3 – Julia gets a new-and-improved Head Start, which a new HHS study shows won’t do anything for her anyway.

---age 17 – Race to the Top improves Julia’s SAT scores(?). Even so, she’s down the list from all of the home-schooled children and the charter- and private-school students who actually got an education rather than an NEA indoctrination.

---age 18 – Julia’s family qualifies for a $10,000 tuition tax credit spread out over four years, while Obama’s student-loan subsidies drive tuition costs up even faster.

---age 22 – Julia undergoes surgery, which has to be funded by her parents’ employers despite Julia being an adult, and which will be most likely delayed as providers decline in number thanks to the economics of ObamaCare.

---age 23 — Thanks to the Lily Ledbetter Act, trial attorneys get rich by filing lawsuits against employers that otherwise wouldn’t have been brought, leaving fewer resources to hire Julia. No college job for our intrepid Julia!

---age 25 – Julia finally gets her 4-year degree in seven years, thanks to the inability to handle the tuition bubble and the lack of work. However, the good news is that the $200,000 in student loans will only hang over her head for 20 years, while taxpayers like Julia end up paying for the costs of default.

---age 27 – Julia wants to have sex for the first time in her life, apparently, and is looking for contraception. Her employer would provide it for free thanks to the ObamaCare HHS mandate … if she could only find a job.

---age 31 – Julia gets pregnant, which tells you all you need to know about free contraception. Oddly, Julia hasn’t gotten married first, probably because the economy is so poor by this time with the huge entitlement debt crisis breaking that no one can conceive of putting a home together. Fortunately, ObamaCare makes pregnancy possible, because until Obama took office, no one ever got pregnant, since government support and approval for it didn’t exist.

---age 37 – Julia’s son Zachary, named after his sperm donor, starts school. Head Start has long since disappeared, apparently, but Race to the Top still exists. Must be a marathon.

---age 42 – Julia starts a business with an SBA loan, which also apparently never existed before Obama took office. Her student loans are just three years away from defaulting onto the backs to taxpayers, so that’s good news.

---age 65 – My, how time flies! (Do women do nothing of value between 42 and 65?) Julia enrolls in Medicare, which ceased to exist decades earlier, thanks to the fact that Obama and Tim Geithner didn’t have a plan to address the debt crisis.

---age 67 – Julia retires, since the entitlement collapse wiped out her business and the rest of the American economy. The timeline stops here, which suggests that the IPAB probably denied her care, as she was nothing but a drain on society by this time, and the few resources they have left ha

Took a look at Julia's life and, by the looks of it Julia is NOT the story of any singular entity; it's the reflection of all women in America who have benefitted from various gov't programs....

perhaps the next ad should focus on the 1% AND what they reap for being the richest folk in America a la Mitty Rom....

Ironic ... Julia is also Winston Smith's girlfriend and partner in 1984 sex crime.
