Should we punish higher bracket taxpayers to accommodate welfare recipients

No……….I came across a number of craigslist ads of a WELFARE recipient trying to sell her formula for money…….

In 2008, 44% were, according to the most recent Census Bureau data, were living in households in which an individual was receiving Social Security, subsidized housing, jobless benefits or other government-provided benefits. Some 41.3 million people were on food stamps as of June 2010, for instance, up 45% from June 2008. With unemployment high and federal jobless benefits now available for up to 99 weeks, 9.7 million unemployed workers were receiving checks in late August 2010, more than twice as many as the 4.2 million in August 2008. The math is not hard to do, we need to cut, trim & eliminate a lot of these government incentives so lazy, fat, quickly breeding, uneducated people to get a job. No, instead we have created welfare-dependency ghettos peopled by a sub-class; places where one’s expectations of a meaningful and fulfilling life are low to non-existent. Instead time passes with cheap alcohol, a haze of cigarette smoke, visits to the doctor, daytime TV and numerous failed relationships. They should have to pay taxes just like I have too. Welfare checks should be taxable income. We need to make the system taboo and bring back the stigma of what WELFARE used to carry. I’m voting for the person who has the most drastic welfare reform & the one who keeps the military on the for front. My children don’t know what WELFARE is and given the life we provide for them, they never will. Taxpayers pay taxes, take random drug testing, have their hours cut, pay for their own insurance……..why should we give all of that away for free?? WELFARE should be like a parole sentence. Must check in every week and be evaluated accordingly. An aging population is adding to the ranks of Americans receiving government benefits, and will continue to do so as more of the large baby-boom generation, those born between 1946 and 1964, become eligible. Today, an estimated 47.4 million people are enrolled in Medicare, up 38% from 1990. By 2030, the number is projected to be 80.4 million. In a society where low income families don’t teach to strive for better than what they have because poverty is all they have ever known……….they don’t know how much better their life could be if they PAID their OWN WAY, not piggy back on a taxpayer.

You name it, someone is lining up to get bailed out, or a handout, courtesy of the hard-working American taxpayer.

I favor eliminating pensions for all government workers, EXCLUDING military and intelligence personnel, and would impose a nationwide sales tax to pay off the country’s debt. If we continue down the path of deficit spending, the great recession of 2008 will be nothing compared to what we will face in 5, 10, 20 years.
