How are they not 'hurting us', when it is coming out of the working class pockets so that they are now the truly poor in the country???
It seems the roles have indeed be reversed and that is not 'spreading the wealth', it is stealing from one to feed the other at the expense of one of them.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28923050 Here's the thing about that argument or position.
It's coming out of our pocket anyway. We have no say as to where our taxes go.
We're funding black projects. We're funding the CIA drug cartel. We're funding crooked cops etc.
We are slaves to the system. They take our money regardless.
If you don't like where it's going then, leave.
I just don't understand the mindset of that argument.
Where the fuck do our taxes for the telephone go (for instance)? We pay about 15-dollars for taxes just to have a phone.
So again, we're not in control of where our fiat make-believe monies are distributed.
If every EBT user stops buying junk food, does that REALLY change anything in our lives?
