I’m gonna say something about our bottom 50 percent.
Some of these individuals, in my opinion ... Are unable to be rehabilitated. In any form or fashion. They are either old, disease or drug ridden, or are just absolute lazy worthless toothless reprobates. They are legion in this country. I’m not sure many of them will ever work again, even if jobs were plentiful.
We can’t tax them, because there is nothing to tax.... But I’d be happy if we at least stopped transferring our hard earned cash to them, via the earned income credit and other various scams.
If we could at least reduce the numbers of these types of people over time .... At least provide jobs to younger poor people and save them from a lifetime of mooching and scamming ..... I’d call that progress.
It would send a message .... Thai if you choose not to work, it’s not going to be a picnic. Being “poor” now is party time. I’d like us to get back to seeing poor who are truly poor.... The type with no shoes on their feet .... Not driving escalades or using Obama phones or getting their nails did at noon while the rest of us get up before dawn every day to support them.
What you are saying is that half the population has an low IQ. Well duh. Is that their fault?
THe original Income tax law passed in 1913 no one paid taxes until they hit 66k in income if single and 88k of income (In current dollars) if married... at the rate was a whopping 1% the income tax when passed was intended to only be paid by the wealthy.
The bloat of the fed is what has turned it into what it is today.
