Almost half of US families can't afford basics like rent and food

Because they are Reich Wing and hate brown and black people!

The National Socialists were on the same team you are.

I believe the Democrats hate black and brown people. They developed an immigration law to use them, the poorest, dumbest, often illiterate black and brown people from third world authoritarian countries to push aside the white middle class in this country. In our country. Their votes are reliable. Their votes can be bought with a few beads and trinkets.

That's not a solution to poverty that the government provides. Besides, the poorest people in this country do not receive the most welfare benefits. The elderly and the working class do. And if you count "tax breaks" and loopholes, then it's the richest people who get the most welfare.

A Marxist. Who would ever believe it? The government owns all the wealth. It is welfare to let productive people keep what they earn.

[MisterVeritis]

If the pie charts that break down where tax money goes would also break out taxes legally not paid, as a percentage of expenditures, the real allocation to the poor would pale by comparison. Unfortunately, tax exemptions are not quantified.

And yet another Marxist. Who woulda thunk it?

What are "taxes not legally paid"? Where do you guys come from?

Shadow welfare and Medicare make up the biggest pieces of welfare in the population. People forget that their work benefits are subsidized by the government. They're too busy complaining about the illegal immigrants, and fear-mongering over false claims that they are receiving all of their tax dollars. And if the wealthiest people and the biggest corporations actually paid their fair share without hiring lawyers and accountants to figure out how to work around it, we probably wouldn't have the financial mess we have, and the tax system would be more fair.

"Shadow welfare."

LOL.

Those evil meanies are keeping some of the money they earned!

At the end of the day, the current economic system will always benefit big business and the very wealthy more than small and midsized business and most private citizens. The tax code was created to benefit those with the most income.

A better way to look at it is the tax code was written to benefit those who take risks.

you have been drinking from the poisoned well too long!

Nonsense. The poor get it and it does no good.

"taxes legally not paid." That's an idiotic statement. I pay all the taxes I'm supposed to pay. A tax exemption is just what it means. You only pay taxes you owe.

You believe a lot of things that are fictional.
