Imagine if the government suddenly cut off entitlements.
Suddenly, tens of millions stop paying their rents and credit cards bills. Economic crisis ensues.
That, and tens of millions violently raiding supermarkets and liquor stores. And other stores.
In Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities, a race hustling black preacher called it "steam control." If whitey don't pay, the pressure of the steam in the boiler will increase, until the boiler explodes.
When will the Right and Patriots stand up to this b.s.?
The gov't and fellow gangster extortionists demand their victims pay them their "fair" share????
Whitey’s tired of paying and paying.
Here in the USA, welfare is in our DNA, and has been since the 1960s.
So what’s the cost of these 28% freeloaders?
Medicaid
Welfare
It’s probably 1/4 of tax revenue.
Medicaid
Welfare
SNAP
WIC
SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAMS
EBT
Many more..................
And many that are disabled are lying about it or manipulating the system.
My deadbeat brother-in-law hasn’t held a steady paycheck in nearly 20 years and my wife’s mother generally supports him, my wife’s sister their kids. The guy is 60 and has never owned a home, doesn’t pay rent, and freeloads off family. He is morbidly obese and used that to claim partial disability with the VA for a minor non-combat injury that wouldn’t be a problem if he didn’t eat 4,000 calories per day. He’s not actually disabled, but it’s easier for government doctors to just give people the green light. My sister-in-law has been “praying” he’ll be found fully disabled so they can get more money. What honorable person actually prays for their spouse to be fully disabled? They are always looking for free stuff.
Every year they brag about the size of their “tax refund” and I tell my wife it’s not a refund, it’s a “tax redistribution” that comes out of our pocket.
Found the answer: we pay in Medicaid and welfare to able bodied adults $504 billion.
what’s whitey gonna do about it?
Found the answer: we pay in Medicaid and welfare to able bodied adults $504 billion.
Of the 5.1 trillion total income tax revenue
504/5100 =0.0988
So 10% of your taxes goes to just deadbeats.
It’s actually the very top tier we should be complaining about.
The bankers don’t pay taxes because they set up trusts prior to 1913.
They can have as much money as they want whenever they want by printing it. Then we suffer from the inflation it causes, which is another tax.
The fed needs to go. So does the illegal revenue agency.
We used to have a neighbor that had a teenage daughter same age as mine at the time.
Her mother wanted her to ‘hurry up and get pregnant’ so they could get more money from the government...............
True.
If you look at the benefits, most of it is Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The bulk of the money goes to older people who have paid in all their lives, and to doctors and hospitals. Things like SNAP and EITC are not as big.
If you put together SNAP, EITC, and the child tax credit, that’s about 4% of the budget. Social Security is 22%, Medicare is 14%, and Medicaid is 8%.
Social Security should be 0% of the budget. I can understand Medicare and Medicaid being 22%.
It is my understanding that SS payments come from general revenue. There is no ‘Trust Fund’.
Yeah, and the top 10% lives off the government tit. How did the federalist society getting 400,000 a year, all those jobs BLM getting USAID money, all those do nothing commissions and agencies DOGE discovered. Contracts for new Air Force ones that are 10 years behind schedule with no delivery in sight. Every federal judge having a wife or daughter with some cushy hundred and $50,000 plus government funded NGO. The connected getting sweetheart contracts from now bid government action. So spare us the assaholic lectures.
This is like when they blamed the 2008 housing crash on poor people taking advantage of those poor bankers.
