Here's another little fact, for those of you who are ignorant, on who pays all the taxes.

Well they shouldn't of done it when they did it back then. A lot of individuals need to be dependent on the Government for financial assistance.

State financial assistance determines a living wage based off the size of your family household and calculates that to a monthly total.

45% of American households pay no federal tax. Are you saying 1/2 of the billionaires and millionare business owners are on average paying no federal tax?
Actually 26%. (Most who dont pay are old and/or destitute) Payroll tax is a tax. You forgot the term Federal Income Tax.

They pay 38% of the federal income tax and own 40% of the wealth.
FWIW Im for lowering the corp tax rates to say 20% for competitive sake and reducing subsidies at the same time. I also have no problem with deporting illegal aliens.
Throw them off welfare, they become homeless, and it costs the taxpayers, on a national average, $42,500 a year to have one homeless person on our streets.
They're forced to commit crimes to stay alive, and off to prison they go, and! Indirect and directs costs of incarceration: $40-50k a year!
Odd that thousands do just fine begging instead of stealing here locally.

I am against work requirements for assistance, because in reality, NO EMPLOYER IS FORCED TO GIVE YOU A JOB. So that screws over someone who is legitimately looking for a job, but keeps getting passed up for other candidates
US Welfare Spending for 2017 - Charts
Currently we are spending 1.127 trillion dollars on welfare benefits. This consists of welfare and medicaid. That works out to a little over 3500 dollars for every man, woman and child in the U.S.
Can we continue to spend 1/3 of every tax dollar on welfare?
I am not against helping those in need but it seems as if we need a different approach to helping.
why don't you help us out and share with us what you are including as "welfare"?
Need to place work requirements of 10 hours a week and limits can be on welfare...Individuals can work while on Disability.
huh? TANF has a work requirement and is limited in time from 12-60 months depending on the state. If a person can work and is receiving SSI or SSDI they are receiving it fraudulently. Only people who can't work are supposed to be receiving those benefits.

Good idea but your assumption seems to be that all homeless people are capable of working, many are old, disabled or mentally ill so they aren't well suited for 'training programs' and unless homelessness is made a crime, you can't mandate certain work activities for the homeless.

I guess you are implying that incarcerated people shouldn't receive healthcare? You might want to research that, SCOTUS has held that people in jails and prison have a constitutional right to healthcare, the feds prohibit them from receiving medicaid while incarcerated, it would be cheaper for the taxpayer if they could receive medicaid while incarcerated.

Can we continue spending $600B every year on military (now increasing by 52B under Trump)?
I'm not against the military, but more money on that?
