...while the average American family pays $6,000 a year towards corporate welfare.
Quote:
In 2012, the average American taxpayer making $50,000 per year paid just $36 towards the food stamps program. That’s just ten cents a day! That’s less than the cost of a gumball.
When it comes to funding the rest of America’s social safety net programs, the average American taxpayer making $50,000 a year pays just over six dollars a year.
But the American taxpayer is paying a lot for the billions of dollars the U.S. government gives to corporate America each year. The average American family pays a staggering $6,000 a year in subsidies to big business.

Lets just blame it on the poorest people and give even more taxbreaks and handouts to shitty companies like wal-mart.

it's the poor people's fault for not wanting to get in on the money making going on, we need to keep hammering the steel and keep up our defence infrastructure, the injins might gets us if we don't.

The average American family pays $15,000 a year for health insurance. Just demonstrates how stupid the average American is. We would rather demonize poor people and save $42, while we hand over tens of thousands of dollars instead of having a sensible but socialist healthcare system.

The Kansas governor tanked the states budget surplus after cutting taxes for the wealthy, then decided to save money by making sure poor people on welfare didn't see movies. This is the mentality of most people in this country. Fucking retards.

The people who need money should make better decisions to get money like corporations do.

The devil finds work for idle hands, and if your poor you are probably lazy, so to hell with the poor. Something like that maybe?

This thread
There are federal instance where it's a great idea and I support that idea but red tape and the money spent on institutions and not the actual act just so much waste and fucker going on with the ruling class in America.
While many of you we disagree on lots of things . But I think putting that money directly to the people who need it the most and cover / have better mental health issues.
I love this country and I love the people who make it up. I just hate those bastardy in DC and other shit show self e Serving polarizing asshat.
Well I'm not including koods in that unless it will make him ruffie like he did to poor innocent sheekle

Yes the average American voter is very stupid. I can't believe people still swallow this BS about blaming the poor for our economic problems while shoving money hand over fist to the military and offering tax loopholes for large corporations.

you mean like that time Obama gave a bunch of union contrats to do shit that never got done, or maybe you mean that time he gave half a billion to his buddies at Solyndra, maybe it's that time he gave billions to his friends at another green energy company or that time he gave billions more to companies moving to china and mexico
