If we all knew what some people were getting by sitting on their asses we would probably revolt and refuse to fund the damn government until they fixed it!
I know it is enough that we can’t afford to pay laborers a before tax income that, after tax, will match their GIVEN income.
The amount of fraud and abuse of the system is mind blowing.
“If we all knew what some people were getting by sitting on their asses we would probably revolt and refuse to fund the damn government until they fixed it!”
We did just that! We quit working full-time, moved to a rural area, bought acreage so we can be as self-sufficient as possible, will start some small businesses so we can control our taxable income by putting anything over $20k in 401k plans so our AGI is low and we won’t be funding the fascist beast any longer.
I non-jokingly recommend everyone do the same as soon as they can.
