“These threads make me see red. They offer no solution...just bit**ing.”
The first step in the solution is being honest about where the money comes from. That’s my objective. We can’t even do that.
I know exactly where the money comes from. So “we” can do that.
It sounds to me like you are saying...you are taking my money...whaaa.. And the government took my money to give to someone else. Right now...today...it is how it is. If you want to change things...run for Senate or HOR. If you live in my state and have a good plan I just might vote for you.
In reality...all taxes are distributed as the powers that be desire. All that pork has to count for something. I hazard to guess that some of the taxes received from the government in my state came from Utah and Cali and Montana, etc. And vice versa.
The same holds true with SS and medicare. So what is your point?
