50% Of YOUR Tax Dollars goes to Entitlements. This is unsustainable.

50% of the Annual Federal Budget is to entitlement spending. Food Stamps, Section 8 Housing, Medicaid, Etc. The federal deficit will never stop rising until this is corrected.

If only the rich paid their fair share…
The group screaming for higher taxes don’t pay anything and get all that you listed for free and it’s STILL not enough. It never will be

The Egalitarian Left is crashing the Private Economy in order to “fundamentally change” it. Saul Alinsky 101. The massive influx of subsidized immigrants will complete the “engineered collapse”. This Board has known that for years, we just when the final straw lands and what the final outcome of the collapse will be. Likely some short-lived form of global governance that amounts to herding cats.

If that is true and we eliminated them then we could for sure eliminate 100% of all taxes from people making less than 1 million dollars a year

Yeah you’re gonna have to cite some evidence this is true. The military budget is 745 billion plus. I’m pretty sure you’re not right on this.

Only way peaceful way to fix this is some sort of return to true federalism, and/or convention of the states. These entitlements will never be votes out in our current system. It will only get worse as we import more welfare recipients from the 3rd world.

I don’t know where you’re getting your numbers since you didn’t link anything. Entitlement spending is completely insane the past 2 years - primarily the TRIPLING of what they are calling “income security.” That’s all the Covid money they threw at people when they shut everything down and wouldn’t allow business to operate. Stimulus checks, unemployment, SNAP, Medicaid, etc.
Prior to the last two years of insanity, the largest entitlement spending was Social Security, which I fully agree is horribly mismanaged but calling something that people are forced to pay into and then hopefully receive something back later an “entitlement” is shady government language.
Check these charts - that first one is a doozy.
Official .gov website these are their own numbers they are freely admitting to.

Will you provide a source for this? Not denying, just want to see.

At least two ways to fix the situation…
Take out the leaders trying to crash things or take out the takers who are getting entitlements without contributing to society.

The military is typically only about 15%-18% of annual spending.

Yeah, getting rid of medicaid, medicare, and social security would fix society right up.

You left out stealing from the American people. One example: the heist of the so-called Social Security Trust Fund by Joe Biden and his crooked democrat pals. I was there I watched (on television) as they stole it. It so infuriated Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) that he pranced on the Senate floor and blasted his senate colleagues when he said,"It's official we're stealing from the American People".
So what did Joe Biden and his crooked pals do? They moved on from stealing our Social Security Trust Fund to stealing our elections. Presumably with the ChiComs doing the "Atta boy" Rah! Rah!
You folks do realize that eventually all this thieven will eventually catch up with us....right?

Because you believe the propagandists who only show you discretionary spending. What you see in the budget graphs they show you is less than 1/3 of spending. 70% is mandatory spending for entitlement programs and interest on the federal debt.
