If you are referring to wealthy lawmakers, fine.
In part, yes. But also the wealthy who have used their money to influence and enrich our lawmakers.

the greatest drag on this country with their constant need for handouts, programs, and involvement with the legal system is the poor.
I disagree. I believe it is the fiscal irresponsibility of our government that is mostly to blame. Let's not forget what happened after the financial crash of 2008, and who ended up with all the bailout money. HINT: It wasn't the poor.
Let's face it, the rich run this country, not the poor. And if you're the one running things, you're the one responsible for how things are run.

This is an interesting thing to say coming from a person who has been spamming the shite out of this thread trying to convince us how God like they are

You think giving thanks to God is being "God-like"?
Hmmmmm...
What god do you think God is thankful to?
Roger accused me of being a taker. I submit that we are all takers as God is the giver of all things. I'm sorry if you have a problem with that. It wouldn't surprise me to find that you still consider yourself a Christian, though.

Our Government is no longer tax payer funded
Then why did they take so much of my money last year?

We need a fair tax . Just a sales tax and no income tax . This will never pass because it would make big spenders pay more taxes .

57% of Americans are on US free handouts, that's why!

quote:Nope. Voters keep re-electing politicians the bring home more freebies. I see no appetite among voters to elect politicians that will effectively cut the spending. How do you reckon a candidate that campaigned on deeply cutting Social security, medicare, medicaid and defense would do?

The sad thing is that we knew this in 2012. Even Mitt Romney warned of it tipping over and becoming unsustainable.
But, No one did shite to correct it,& now it's about to crash and burn.

You are right The government employee is a 100% net tax taker. The minimum wage McDs employee at least has withholding taken out. The minimum wage McDs employee is literally paying the government worker and are better than.
What a dumb take. Your taxes pays for the goods and services the government employee provides, just like the value meal you just bought pays for the fast food employee’s wage.
The difference is the amount you pay for the government employee depends on how much you make, where the McD’s everyone pays the same amount for the Value Meal.
Also, government employees pay taxes too.

They used the poor to set the whole thing up. "Equity" was the push behind lending to people who had no business being approved.
Do you think the poor ultimately footed the bill?
There will always be people who had a bad roll of the dice, and I have no issue helping those people. But there are too many people who are just too lazy and have flat out made shite decisions their entire lives. The workers on this board are just tired of supporting them.
