Wow you are delusional. So the illegals that dont pay taxes and use up government money are better than millions and millions of working, tax paying republicans, charitable republicans?
Illegals DO pay taxes. Billions and billions of dollars worth of them. Illegals are also responsible for significant net increases in real GDP. Many are church-going, volunteering, helping hand-providing pillars of their local communities. Those who do dare to seek out public services do so at rates lower than those of similarly situated persons with current documentation.
Republicans on the other hand simply vote NO and attend Tea Parties. Having either created this gargantuan mess or supported its creation every step of the way, they want to do nothing to assuage it disastrous effects and protest against those who do. Republicans as a group have made themsleves a part of the problem. Undocumented workers as a group have not.
A tax refund is simply getting back some of own money they confiscated from your pay check. It is not a welfare program at all.
Whatever was withheld was the result of your own W-4 calculations. If there was over-confiscation going on, it was because you authorized it.

Social Security is the most successful social insurance program in world history. It has benefitted and continues to benefit the lives of tens of millions of Americans, be they the retired, the disabled, or the survivors. No one who does not pay into the system gets anything back.
If you made the choice to have a baby on the taxpayers' dime, then you should expect they have the right to look at you load your cart with luxury items that they themselves cannot afford. And if your father was able to buy you a luxury car, then why couldn't he help you with food? What exactly entitles you to the income of other people?
Does that first sentence imply your support of abortion on demand? It seems to.
Otherwise, WIC is assistance provided to protect the health and potential well-being of infants and young children. It is channelled through responsible adults only because infants and young children are not legally or mentally capable of being responsible for themselves. It is far more expensive to deal later with the downstream effects of poor infant and early childhood health and malnutrition than it is to assure proper health and nutrition over those early years to begin with.
Thanks for mentioning this. It goes both ways though, you do know that right? How about all the threads from left-leaning individuals about how the so-called "rich" can afford to pay more taxes. How they are all greedy and never worked for their money. That they should pay their fair share in taxes.
I'm well into the top 1% of income earners, far beyond Obama's proposed $250K limit. I'm also usually taken to be one of those liberals, and I can tell you without the slightest hesitation that the rich are quite able to sustain significant additional tax burdens -- burdens that could help restore fiscal balance and fund much needed works and programs -- without so much as a noticeable dent in their lifestyles. Bush has basically been giving us a free ride at others' expense since 2001. It's long past time for that to end.

Everything bolded also applies to Republicans. If you cant acknowledge that fact you have some serious problems.
That blanket statement was just as wrong as the one you tried to correct.
Actually he is correct. Those illegal immigrants that receive a paycheck and have federal and state withholdings are paying taxes, however they will not FILE taxes for a potential refund for fear of being caught (of course their using someone else's social)
That blanket statement was just as wrong as the one you tried to correct.
No, it is a simple fact that illegals pay taxes. Lots and lots of them. If you want to join in the silly sing-along about illegals as a group not paying taxes, you'll only end up looking as foolish as the OP.
You report them to social services who end up doing nothing, in america its not illegal to own nice things, even if your on welfare. You cant have a high net worth, but you're allowed a nice car with a very high car note on it.
actually, you can report to IRS....hoepfully they will get audited and in return report back to SS
