Why don't they just appropriate enough money to give each of these families who don't pay income tax a handgun? Then the families can use the gun to rob other people and take their money. It would be so much cheaper and this way the government wouldn't have to get involved as much. It would cut out the middle man. I mean, that is precisely what these families are doing. They are collecting money that has been confiscated by force (try not paying your taxes and see what happens if you choose not to cooperate) from law-abiding taxpayers. That they didn't have to hold the gun themselves is purely semantic.

Out of curiosity, for different-sized families and income levels, how do the amounts of the net payouts compare with the FICA taxes paid by, or on behalf of, these people?

Hehehe, you're right.

Stealing is stealing -- If the gub'mint needs to defend the country, enforce the law, and built roads, fine. The extra cash is YOURS and MINE -- not a politicians' buy-a-voter slush fund.
