I'm wondering how they're able to apply for welfare without any form of ID. Seems they supposedly can't get an ID for voting purposes, but can magically do so to sign up for welfare? How stupid do they think we are?

And what percentage of those who don't pay federal taxes are "druggies?" Most people get their money to pay for taxes through the jobs they work.

And have the top pay their fare share of the pay role tax too then. Fare is fare.

They already do. They actually pay MORE than their fair share. Both the SS tax and benefits are capped, with those who earn the most getting the least return on their money:
Quote:
"Most high-income workers started getting less in benefits than they paid in taxes in the 1990s, according to data from the Social Security Administration."
Social Security is a LOSING deal for most workers - AP

And the Medicare tax isn't capped, but everyone gets the same benefits. That means the top pays WAY more than anyone else for the exact same benefits.

How do you not know either of those 2 facts?
