I understand and i think there are flaws in welfare but its a necessity at this point. Sure there are people just relyin on it to live without working, but there are alot of people who cant find a job. I know people who are taking advantage of it and people who are struggling to live on it.
If you didnt have growing and jobs got fucked around you what would you do? If you go months without finding a job? Would you just dive into debt?? Max out credit cards?? Pay for healthcare by yourself for you and your kids?
IMO, we could chip away at the deficit with the roughly 500 billion+ a year that the large businesses refuse to pay. Its probably even more than that. SS and welfare are necessary for our elderly and poor.
In a world where a company keeps you at just below 39 hours a week to keep from paying you as full time and giving you benefits, while getting paid below a livable wage, its hard not to take a handout or 2.
If i didnt have growing i would be seriously struggling financially. With growing i just about break even every month on a upper meager living situation.
Theres really too many things messing up the world and the poor are the first to get blamed, while the rich suck them dry.
So be mad at the businesses for not paying their taxes which causes you to pay more taxes to the "lazy motherfuckers"
EDIT: also its tough to chip away at the deficit when 90% of income goes to the top 1% who arent paying too much to taxes. So at best we can pay with our 10% which wouldnt and doesnt do shit.
You know, this pack of misgivings isn't worth dignifying on a blow by blow response. Also, please take this bullshit to the nutjobs in Politics, you know, the 55% who don't pay taxes as the big corporations AND folks like Aim and I pay their way. Where you're getting this crap of who's paying and who's not is beyond me. Gotta be from one those sites you're reading from. Certainly isn't the real world. https://www.rollitup.org/politics/782577-so-god-made-liberal.html
