''splaining" reality!

September 2011

09/18
In actual fact:  everyone who works for a minimum level pays the payroll tax..this is the Social Security tax.  If you own property you pay real estate taxes.  If you buy anything, you pay sales taxes.  If you use any utility or drive, you pay those taxes.  If you have cable or a cellular device, you pay taxes.  But, if you are below the poverty rate, you can lower your utility bills, get a free cell phone, get food stamps, free health care through Medicaid, plus at the end of the year you will pay ZERO federal and state income taxes but you can get up to an $8,000.00 check back from the IRS from the Earned Income Credit.  Most "poor" people, own cars, flat screen televisions, have computers, some own their homes, their children get free breakfast and lunch, and in some states get free dinner.  There is subsidized housing which can mean up to 66% off the rent.  And, I know for a fact that many get their parents into the program plus, if your are eligible for Medicare and are "poor" you can get Medicaid too and literally pay ZERO for everything others pay for!  So, Josh, if you in agreement with this, welcome  to the American welfare country that is broke, bankrupt, finished!
