Take a wild guess......it ain't you and me....

WHO'S GETTING THE GOODIES .. AND WHO'S PAYING THE TAB! The Tax Foundation has issued a new report entitled "Who Pays America's Tax Burden, and Who Gets the Most Government Spending". You can read the report for yourself right here, though I suspect you already know the answers to the questions.
As you might now, economists and government bureaucrats divide us into quintiles. There's the highest income one-fifth, the lowest income one-fifth, and the three-fifths in the middle. The Tax Foundation study shows that the lowest-earning one-fifth of households in America get about $8.21 in federal, state and local government spending for every dollar they paid in taxes in 2004. If you're in the middle one-fifth, you got about $1.30 in spending for every dollar in taxes. Now, can you guess what happens if you're in the top one-fifth? Right. You get raped. You get about 41 cents in government spending for every dollar you pay in taxes.
Those of you out there who so ardently hate the rich might want to rethink things. Looks to me like you need them to cover your cost of living. Pity you can't care for yourselves. Maybe that's where the hatred comes in. The dependence that those in the lower income brackets have on government handouts breed resentment .. and that resentment is aimed at those who have more. Perhaps instead of resentment these people might want to think in terms of gratitude. Thank goodness there are people out there who do go the extra mile, make the extra effort, work the extra hours to get themselves into those higher brackets. Who is going to create all of this wealth that gets redistributed if they don't? The government?

I don't forsee this ever changing until we set out to start making examples...
ie....we kill people who are 4th generation welfare, non working bastards!

Here is a side note....you ever notticed how the world's poorest people live around the equator, plus or minus a few lats...
Here is the sponge's theory...it is always fucking warm.
People don't have to work to maintain a house to live in so they don't freeze to death...
Just a thought...move all worthless population that resides along the gulf coast to Wyoming...those fuckers will be working in no time!!!!!

ah yes doesn't make you feel good to be helping the "down trodden" and those who life has not treated fairly.

the solution to being poor is simple....J O B...they are out there get one. It may not be glamorous to flip burgers at Wendy's but it is a start. I doubt with the exception of old money like the Rockafellars, Mellons, Kennedys, etc that the Bill Gates, Trumps, Steve Wynns of the world didn't work their asses off to get where they are tody. Ya may not agree with political views but no one got rich, comfortable, or successful sitting on his ass.

All the govt handout encourage folks to do nuttin so the beatup on wealthy and middle class can get ripped off to pay the frieght. Its getting old
