Now, extrapolate that to the actual US demographic. Whites outnumber blacks by how much?
census.gov
15% of whites dwarf 30% of blacks in raw number.
Get off the government tit, Honkies.

The funniest thing about the American left is their hypocrisy on social benefits and tax policy, mostly based upon total ignorance. They swoon over the benefits that countries like Norway, Sweden and Denmark provide through the government and demand them here. However, if you suggest that those programs be funded in the same way those countries do, they look at you like they swallowed a turd.
You see, all three of those countries generate tax revenues through a virtual flat tax. The highest marginal rate (income + payroll) is not very different than ours in Norway is 39%. In the US, it was 46.3% and is now 39%, it's 56.9% in Sweden and it's 60% in Denmark. Whats drastically different is who pays the top marginal rate. Denmark applies its top rate to income 1.2x the median income (so like 58k), Norway and Sweden apply it to income 1.5 and 1.6x the median income (so $70k-80k). Keep in mind those are only the top rates, income below that is taxed as well, meaning everyone contributes and has a stake in the game. In the US we apply the top marginal rate to income 9x the median income, and half of America is "too poor" to contribute to the federal income tax system. It's strange how in those other places, everyone can manage to contribute, but in the US, the "rich" carry the entire tax burden and the left only wants to turn the screws even more.
Parasites, through and through.

Get a job, don't have 4 children when you can't afford 1... budget better... food is a necessity, not a nice purse or new car... hold the stamps 1 week and tell people its survival of the fittest.

I worked at a grocery store once and had a lady come through and spend $50 on Easter candy. She swiped that EBT card and I felt sure it would be declined but nope. Paying for candy then paying for kids to see the dentist seems counterproductive to me.
I wish it was more of the WIC system, a certain list of staples that you can get.

I think only white people are applicable for WIC

If you pay with EBT you don’t pay sales tax on that purchase

I doubt someone who pays 50 bucks on candy for easter using the taxpayers dime is paying for the dentist on their own or even going to the dentist for that matter.

It is probably the most ludicrous aspect of our tax system
Posted on 1/21/18 at 1:27 pm to TDcline
This is why only property owners should vote.

You are the only person who brought up race.

You're right, EBT isn't about race. At all.

It's pretty racist of you to think that just because a child is on food stamps, he doesn't deserve gold teeth. They aren't just for rappers these days

The real difference between the US and Scandinavian countries is the Scandinavians picked their own damn cotton.
