Zone1 If welfare recipients are buying expensive toys, is that a sign we are giving too much free stuff?

Now I hear that Kamala wants to give an additional welfare payment of $6,000 in the year a welfare mother pushes out another illegitimate kid. That is on top of the food stamps, Medicaid, and whatever else they get.

So did Vance.

If some corporations paid no taxes, they had a bad year or made investments that brought their taxes down to zero - investments to grow the business, hire even more people, and those people in turn pay taxes. The corporations are contributing either directly or indirectly to the tax revenues.

Ahh...now you’re making excuses. Many (if not most) corporations are multi-national insofar as having plants overseas...employing Asians, Europeans, and even...hiss...Venezuelans.

Should these people be paying zero income tax?

Raise the taxes on corporations - and middle-class retirement funds come down, and companies can’t hire as many people and thus fewer people are paying in.

This is true. They may have to fire some Asians, Europeans, and Venezuelans. That would be tragic.

I can understand why YOU don’t get the basics of Econ 101, but someone with an economics degree like Harris should know better.

Ahh...coming from the moron (you) who didn’t know the difference between bail bond and probation bond. Should I show you that post and rub your nose in that again?

The areas in red states where most of the welfare people live are the blue cities. Just look at New Orleans, as an example. What a cesspool.

So what does the governors of these red states do if not fixing the “cesspool” as you call it? Alabama has been red for 40+ years. When they going to fix it? Oh wait, let me guess...governors are powerless all of the sudden.

And do the welfare people work? Some have little part-time jobs, others don’t work at all. So what’s your point? The point is that they are given so much free money from other people that they can afford $100 toys in an economic environment where middle class people cannot.

Meanwhile back in reality, WalMart, one of those corporations your love routinely tells their employees to take advantage of public assistance...which you hate.
