This scam is handed down, generation after generation. It is not stopping anytime soon.

Which is why I refuse to run for any office.

Or maybe it's the skeleton graveyard in my closet.

you democrats know nothing.

There is a difference in paying money for a good or service in return and paying money for no good or service in return.

Transfer payments are the biggest chunk of federal money spent. meaning giving away money for nothing in return.

When i pay my local taxes i expect those services you mention to be functioning properly.

Those who cannot support themselves, I get it.

I don't support long term welfare of any kind for able people or businesses.

But the current system is a welfare trap, no incentive to improve.

Here is snap, wanted to show something that didnt include ss. We are shelling out $85 billion. Obama really ramped it up. Lowest participation in workforce. These people need to get a job, not be given free shite.



The shaded bars are recessions.

This can hurt the kids more than parents. My vote is to require a parent to have tubes tied/vasectomy if they have kids on welfare for more than 2 years in order to continue receiving support for their current dependents.


frick them kids.
But seriously, how did dead beat’s kids become the tax payers responsibility? I feel the same way about school lunch and public school and honestly the entire Federal Dept. of Education as a whole. Should scrap the whole kit and kaboodle along with the federal reserve, DoE, Housing and Urban Development, DoT, Commerce and Interior.

SIAP, but it is because elections are every 4 years not every 6 months.

I pay for my internet service monthly. I pay a gasoline tax to fund those roads every time I fill up. And I pay around $25k a year in property and income taxes to fund the rest.

OP isn’t about people who contribute and pay taxes utilizing the public services their tax money funds. Its about the people who drop out of school at 15 and sit on their lazy asses at home while they collect section 8 and food stamps and keep having kids that the taxpayers will be forced to support financially

Will never forget after Katrina when they were razing projects and there was a huge lady standing in front a sign that clearly said transitional housing. She was holding a baby and complaining that they were tearing down her home where she, her parents and grandparents were all raised.
