Why most of of us hate paying taxes...

...and distrust government's ability to serve us and spend our money wisely

Yes.. poor people. Of course.

And not just any poor people, the poor people that makes you feel good about applying judgement to ALL poor people.

Gambling isn't that surprising. It's a hugely alluring draw to allow somebody to change their standing in life, even though it's just yet another money making scheme to draw the money out of their pockets. Las Vegas is working as designed.


If anything you guys should be happy about this. It means the wealth that was "redistributed" to the poor people is now going back into the hands of the people who it was "stolen" from... like Casino owners

 

[editec]

Talk about beting a dead hose?

WELFARE is that horse.

This is a non-issue only a complete ignorant skinflint can appreciate.

So....

IOW you are all right with taking my money when I cannot afford to go to any of these locations and giving it to poor people to take those vacations for me? Or have you no idea why this should not be happening?

As I have said before, you can solve most of this by running the welfare program like WIC. WIC is an amazingly good program because it does not give anyone a damn dime. ZERO cash. Instead, it gives you food. SPECIFIC food. I am fine with helping, I just want that money is for its intended purpose. That also give grate incentive to get off the program as well.

May I gather from your post that you completely ignored the thrust of the story which is welfare fraud and misuse of taxpayer resources?
How anyone could justify such a crime against the taxpayers is a fucking mystery.
If you or anyone else supports what is obviously a fleecing of taxpayers, you are just as bad as they.

Only an liberal( all libs are entitlement minded) would want this criminal behavior shoved under the rug.
BTW, the ones exposing this? None other than that ultra right wing newspaper, the LA Times.
You libs got shit on by your own media outlet. Ain't that a kick in the nads.

I love paying my taxes.
I love paying my bills.

I don't like the size of my taxes or my bills.

But here's the beauty of it... I've incurred these obligations either by virtue of being a U.S. citizen or by simply going about my daily life.

I have little to no control over my tax bill... although I do have the power to vote. I have the right to assembly and I have freedom of speech. Freedom of religion too. I own guns - lots of them. I have redress of grievance. I'm innocent until proven guilty. I have the right to defend my domicile.

I just flat out live in a peachy keen country and to me that's worth the taxes that I pay.

I've been poor, I've been rich, but right now I happen to be somewhere in between.
But I've always paid my taxes- and happily so.

SO you just blissfully fork over your dough and eschew any query of accountability?
Why bother voting then? You say you have the right to vote. Do you exercise that right? Every election?
Your post smacks of the same contentment, the same apathy that allows politicians the free rein to take our money from us and use it for their own purposes.
You stated you have redress. I submit you do not. If your attitude is so cavalier as to where your money goes why would you bother with said right to redress?

It's not an entitlement mentality, it's the GD Pub 2nd great depression. Great job...

That is the key word that has allowed politicians to become so corrupt and law to become so convoluted.

That has to be the most idiotic justification for waste and malfeasance ever posted on any forum.

And, no, the wealth was not "redistributed" to the people who it was stolen from.

You're the biggest imbecile in the forum.

[Douger]

I left because I had no say over the destination of my tax dollars (heavy$$$). I saw very little of them benefiting me or my former countrymen.
I have almost three more years to pay and I'm done with it.
I expect to pay about $16500 this year of which zero will help you murkins.
It goes to the corporatocracy(subsidies that currently hurt me a little), IsNtReal and the war machine that owns that fucking place.

It leaves me with a heavy heart knowing I assisted in the death of millions and the destruction of nature that has been unknowingly enforced(due to brainwashing) by my meathead peers for many a decade.

He just admitted he's an idiot who doesn't mind being robbed and mulcted so long as he choose a new gang of crooks every couple of years and post his idiotic opinions on bulletin boards like this one.

Poor people my ass...

There are two types of poor people - those who are content with government supporting them and those who are temporarily poor, because they're young or have hit hard times..

The majority of the "poor" are those who are content with living off the taxpayers..

I have all the respect in the world for those who are temporarily poor - those individuals and families will eventually get ahead sooner or later, however those who are content with living off welfare and bitching about it SHOULD NOT be sympathized with - they're the fucking problem...Section 8 and food stamps are supposed to be temporary and not treated as a source of income..

I have no sympathy for assholes that abuse the system...

I don't know what state you're from but here in Illinois all that money goes to unions and assholes like Jesse Jackson Jr...

I don't know why someone in southern Illinois should be paying for a cop in Chicago to bring an alderwomans child to school...

Around here democrats use taxpayers as their personal bank accounts ....

Not to mention the state dependents who commit epic crime that democrats continue to pander to and sympathize with....

Funny how I grew up poor and my father or mother never robbed anyone and never demanded the state support me or my brothers and sister...
