This. If corporations can get tax breaks and not do anything, I'm not going to look down on an individual.

Yet we support the lousy bums and complain about the working poor taking what the government says they can have.
I used to like Kevin. I can't stand him anymore. I have zero problems with WIC, SNAP, Section 8 housing, Welfare, Social Security or VA benefits.

Look I understand the concern about people abusing the system or thinking welfare is their due. But if the programs are out there people have to be a saint to not use them. I do think you should work if you can but I'm not a saint. And if others don't like tax programs write congress people. But leave the recipients themselves alone.hotspice58 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 1:50 pm This. If corporations can get tax breaks and not do anything, I'm not going to look down on an individual.

Social security and VA benefits aren’t welfare. Just clarifying.

Why? It’s usually the recipients’ fault they’re on welfare.

Is it a corporations fault if they need a tax shelter? A government bailout? They get it no guilt involved. Do the congressmen deserve better healthcare than their constitutes get? And what my kids will pay back in debt is certainly more than they will in welfare. Idk about you but I've bigger worries than what an EIC recipient or a HUD renter does. Climate change and health care tops that list. Long as they're not committing fraud and they meet the criteria I'm not complaining. If I don't agree with the programs I write my representatives which others can do Also.Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 3:05 pm Why? It’s usually the recipients’ fault they’re on welfare.

Okay, but that’s a separate topic.

Welfare and the defense budget are approximately tied for the largest government expenditures. I’d say that makes welfare worthy of concern.
I feel like you should get what you pay for: congresspeople can afford better medical care.
I don’t believe corporations should have the tax freedoms they do, but they’re providing jobs. If they go away, the country will be in worse shape, arguably.
