Because most people are lazy and dumb, so they tend to vote for a specific party that likes to cater to these useless leeches, offering free housing/food/phones/health care/you name it at the tax payers expense.

As a person who makes well into the six figures, I'm appalled that society is generally setup to reward the dumbest people with money earned by the smartest. I own a number of rental properties and my income just from my job is beyond the 150K limit where I can get deductions for losses. So basically I get no tax credits for anything, student loans, grad school, rentals, etc. While The idiots breed in large numbers but don't work, get everything paid for them by people like me. And please, don't claim you all pay the same. I pay more in taxes than most HOUSEHOLDS in the US GROSS in a year.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this by one of the very losers I'm describing. Go ahead and self identify. Sadly these imbeciles will keep growing in number as it has been proven stupid people have large numbers of kids while people with higher IQ's don't have the desire to breed. What for? So their kids can go to college and work hard to support a bunch of losers?

No you're completely right on.


Our society rewards making less money. Ultimately the result is a dependent people and an eroded middle class.


This thread will probably be moved to another forum I presume.

Some genuinely need the help...

But yes... there are many that are lazy but have enough scruples to take advantage of the system. They screw it up for everyone else. Keep in mind, it isn't all "the lazy" but the system itself kinda shoehorns people into a position of dependency on the system. (I don't recall the details) There was a story of a woman who came down with cancer and was depending on medicaid for treatment. She couldn't work and was further depending on the system. So she setup a gofundme site but couldn't touch the money; it was enough to loose medicaid but not enough to compensate for treatments.

If only there were some other country that has restricted the number of offspring a family is allowed, then we could examine how well it has worked out for them...oh, wait...

I think, its the price we pay for living in America. I don't like the fact that some people take advantage of the system, but I don't mind paying the extra taxes that comes with living in Great United States of China.

Do you all think our government will pass the buck back to you if they were to take all the undeserving people off public assistance? Lmao! They'll just find other stupid ways to spend your tax dollars.

Why should government help already wealthy companies who hardly pay any taxes? I'm a business owner and pay every tax the state and Feds can imagine. At the same time GE pays almost zero taxes. I'd much rather my taxes feed a child with irresponsible parents than fund abatements for multibillion dollar companies.

My family is in the top 3% of tax payers in this country. I honestly have zero problem with welfare programs. I have a problem with the hundreds of billions we lose out on taxes from the uber wealthy due to loopholes which cause the likes of Mitt Romney to pay a lower effective tax rate than probably both of us or tax evasion.

Govt. shouldn't dictate family size, but it should stop subsidizing them. All welfare schemes are immoral and unconstitutional and should be ended.

I'd rather people keep their own earnings and decide for themselves where they should be spent.
