People receiving welfare are complaining they now cannot buy candy and soda with tax money they are given

[The Irish Ram]

It seems you guys love punishing the poor for being poor.

Why not put a big loudspeaker above each cash register when someone uses and EBT Card that calls out, "POOR PEOPLE, EVERYONE, POOR PEOPLE!!!"

We are feeding the poor. What else does my money need to buy for the nonworking class?

 

[Rawley]

Still a luxury that taxpayers should not be compensating

Taxpayers are not compensating them.

If the “poor” can be expected to buy their own soda, then corporations can be expected to pay for extravagant jet travel, meals and luxury cars

They do pay for pay for extravagant jet travel, meals and luxury cars.

You seem very confused about this.

YES we do

When Corporations take these as tax exemptions they come out of our tax revenue.
We have no obligation to accept extravagant business expenses as acceptable business expenses

Yes, with their own money

 

[Mac-7]

YES we do

When Corporations take these as tax exemptions they come out of our tax revenue.

When corporations pay EXACTLY the same tax rate as you do then you can complain about tax deductions that you dont get

Otherwise their money is not your money

I wish I could pay the corporate tax rate

Their deductions are my money

 

[ColonelAngus]

Take the money spent on acrylic nails and wigs and weaves and use it for candy and soda.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

 

[Mac-7]

Their deductions are my money

They are not

Even with the deductions the rich pay most of the taxes

 

[Rawley]

LOL OK. You operate under the Hillary CLinton model that all income is the Government's not ours.

We have no obligation to accept extravagant business expenses as acceptable business expenses

Well, I think your personal deduction is extravagant. You have enough $$ you should be giving that $$ to the gvt.

 

[rightwinger]

They are not

Even with the deductions the rich pay most of the taxes

They have most of the wealth

 

[Mac-7]

They have most of the wealth

But according to you they dont pay enough

 

[toobfreak]

You’re acting as though welfare recipients and food stamp recipients are two disparate groups.

THEY ARE.

There are millions and millions of people on BOTH.

Who cares?

Lisa, read what I wrote, I'm not repeating myself. Either you are willing to read it honestly or not. If you cannot deal with the facts, that is your problem. This new rule not only saves not a dime, but it impacts most the people least able to cope with it while making no difference to those who can.

Check it out, far more people get food stamps than welfare. Everyone on welfare gets food stamps, but many on food stamps do not get welfare and have no free cash flow with which to just buy a treat themselves.

AND STILL YOU KEEP IGNORING THE CORE ISSUE I KEEP BRINGING UP ON RAW GOVERNMENTAL POWER.

And again, this new action doesn't even save us a dime.

Not a dime.

I am just pointing out the irony of denying the poor a liter of soda while we allow corporate executives to deduct their lavish lifestyle

.

The executives can pay for it.

So nobody's business but their own.

Then why do they deduct those expenses as a business expense?

Why do you pay for some executives flights on a private jet?

 

[Lisa558]

The leftists are saying that AFTER we pay for poor people’s milk, eggs, cheese, beef, salmon, bread, vegetables, fruit, pasta, pasta sauce, tuna, mayo, PB&J, those Stouffers processed meals, frozen pizza, etc., etc., etc.,…..and subsidize their rents…..and pay their medical costs….and give them TANF money….

…we are punishing them because we don’t want our money going for a Kit-Kat bar.

 

[DennisPTate]

If one wants to purchase NON NECESSARY ITEMS, PAY FOR THEM YOURSELF.

Welfare should be for staple food products. Milk, bread, meat, vegetables, etc.

Not Kit Kat bars and Dr Pepper.

I love the new restrictions.

This is hilariously funny.....
but kind of brilliant really!

We dont

Its their money in the first place that you want to take for yourself

 

[rightwinger]

If it’s THEIR money, why do they claim it as a deduction?

NO

I am just claiming it is petty to go after a poor persons liter of soda while you look the other way at some executive writing off a trip on a private jet
