Write something that will make people's emotion to fluctuate.

Welfare isn't a benefit to anyone

I work with the mentally and physically disabled. The system is borked, but it does do some of its intended purpose correctly.

All slaves should be free.

Most below average IQ people deserve to be slaves.

Not all vampires are brats and not all brats are vampires

Genius!

I'm not talking about people who pay NO taxes. That's only 28%.
I'm talking about people who pay taxes, but also receive benefits like food stamps, section 8 housing, etc etc etc. You are having a hard time believing that 27% of the population earns some money and gets government handouts that exceed the amount paid? If you have a household that gets medicare/medicaid, chances are, YOU are one of the 27%.

AND I AM GOING BY HOUSEHOLD. If you are someone who is claimed on someone else's taxes, you shouldn't get to vote, and I also don't count you. And anyone who is retired with a Roth IRA and SS retirement benefits is basically in the 27% as well. You are now a net drain on the system and should no longer be voting.

And it fluctuates. I've seen some stats indicating it is 53% don't pay more than they get, but I'm not confident in those sources. It was about 3 years ago we crossed over into the territory where less than half the population pays more taxes than they get in benefits. COVID was the final nail on the coffin, really.

Some people say it started as far back as 2014, but I think we are just quibbling over the fine details at this point.

I'm not american, but if you're including dependants isn't the number kind of meaningless? If the household got $3 a year, then that would still mean children and housewives get more benefits than they pay tax...

Also, do you think the government doesn't effect people who don't pay much tax? Personally I think we should check people for brain worms before letting them vote

But you are both a brat and a vampire~

That's not how taxes work in America.

You have the option to pay your own taxes, or if you fall under certain criteria, you can choose to be part of someone else's household. There is technically no limit on the age of dependents. I could be your dependent if I qualify, and I'm 50 Y.O. I used to work for a bank as a Loan originator and getting people's taxes in order was part of the job. You'd be surprised how often I had someone's parents listed as dependents.

Do you have any idea how much MONEY you get back with claiming an adult dependent?

My best scam was getting an entire household put under the 19 Y.O. daughter. Three generations. A total of 6 dependents.

I think if you get FREE SHIT, you shouldn't get to vote. If the government is bribing you, you have a vested interest to make more government.

Sorry sir, I'm going to need to take away your right to vote, I'm detecting worms in the brain

This is America. Logic doesn't matter. All that matters is if you can follow the technical law. I once created millions in imaginary money out of thin air that only existed for 35 to 59 days depending on what point in time it was created, and this was legally possible because the federal government passed a law with an "Or" instead of an "And" at the wrong point in the law,

America is the land of technical legality.

Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

This thread has caused my emotions to fluctuate.

 

[AlanWeb]

At all times, there are only three topics that make people's emotions waver: it's sex, religion, or politics. All other topics are not so clinging to the people around them. That is why often society tries to avoid these topics. But let's try to write something. For example free porn...

All slaves should be free.

Yes we should be able to buy slaves for free

Oh goodness gracious, that's genius.
