Its pretty safe to say that the bulk of our taxes aren't being paid to just a bunch of lazy moochers.
Contrary to Republican popular belief, and stunning ignorance.
The stunning ignorance belongs to you my friend.
I have no problem paying taxes for those who CAN'T work!
But many many MANY people are committing welfare fraud.
I knew a guy in high school who has become such a disgusting welfare queen I refuse to associate or even speak with him any longer. He doesn't have a single monthly bill...NOT ONE!
No rent, electric, gas, phone, food, and the POS brags about not having filed his taxes in over 10 years.
Ya know what his disability is?
He can't put the bottle down!
Welfare has utterly destroyed him! He used to rise to the occasion but only when he NEEDED to...now he no longer needs to. So he doesn't.
His quality of life is putrid! It's sad and disgusting!
Its actually pretty difficult for people to get Social Security Disability, they often go before a court multiple times, and its even harder for them to get welfare, or section 8.
There might be some who slip through & abuse the system, theres also people with disabilities waiting years for income, living in homeless shelters.
I suspect you know very little about what TRULY goes on.
I'm going to college for Mental Health, and maybe onto Art Therapy.
Having seen the system first hand, and dealt with the Mentally Ill population, most of them DO GET Medicaid,
but actually don't have welfare, and while many of them have Social Security Disability, they often wait years in the beginning for that supplemental income, much less Section 8.
