I never cease to be amazed at ignorance...

I think it should be owned proportionately to what YOU EARNED. If you do NOTHING, you "deserve" NOTHING. You should get to "keep what you kill" If that work ethic is down to 1%, we are in deep trouble. Bad enough it is down to 53%. And I'm not talking about the disabled or those who have a mental or physical challenge. I'm talking about the able bodied leeches that at first were glad to get something, then expected it, and now DEMAND it. It's really sad. We should remember the words of Gov. William Bradford of the Massachusetts Bay colony: "He who does not work, does not eat"

Once again the right peddles the false notion that the poor 'pay no taxes.' :oops:
When in fact, they pay a much higher % of their pay in taxes (ie: sales/gas/etc)...than higher wage earners.
Or did you forget that there are many other types of taxes... besides just 'personal income taxes?"
Poor Pay a Higher Percentage of Income in Taxes

According to the report, the lower one’s income, the higher the effective state and local tax rate.
Combining all state and local income, property, sales and excise taxes that Americans pay, the nationwide average effective state and local tax rates by income group are 10.9 percent for the poorest 20 percent, 9.4 percent for the middle 20 percent and 5.4 percent for the top 1 percent, the report said.
In the 10 states with the most regressive tax structures, the bottom 20 percent pay up to seven times as much of their income in combined taxes as their wealthy counterparts.

And then of course there are the 'working poor,' who get paid so little that they qualify for welfare.
So let me get this straight, you have this hatred/haughty attitude toward the working poor getting help, but have no problem with the billions of dollars in profits companies make by paying low wages...knowing that the American Citizen will subsidize them when their workers qualify for welfare?
Why is that?
