look at how much of the budget is paid to welfare programs

your original comment was about "who should pay more"
out of control spending is only "out of control" due to welfare programs. the entire point of this thread is talking about the inequality of who pays into the public coffers and who receives the spoils of that system. without these leviathan welfare programs, this unequal tax system would become irrelevant

the people who thrive off the system paying into it while people living in poverty already scraping by as is not paying into it.
