HA! There is no such thing as "earned programs" or "paid" ( not "payed") into".No! Not higher taxes or what you consider to be a "decent tax rate"...Government must learn to spend within it's means. It must learn to get out of the entitlement business for the purpose of buying votes from the entitled.
End the earned programs you call entitlements? So you advocate stealing from the American people who payed into those programs every week?
You folks on the right have moves SO FAR to the right that you have no connection with reality.
If your theory regarding entitlements is that ALL money TAXED yes, TAXED would be returned to the payor..Not so. In each of the entitlement programs. workers are TAXED then only a small portion of that money is returned to the taxpayer
There are no "accounts". There are no "trust funds".
Learn this and learn well. Medicare/ SS and FICA are TAXES. Period.
The only difference between these taxes and other taxes is that regular taxes go to pay for government services. The above taxes are used for other purposes and a small portion of the money is returned to the taxpayer.
You people think social entitlements are not large enough. You'd like to see tax rates skyrocket to fund your pet programs.
Look, this is going to piss you off. Those in DC who want to expand entitlements and transfer payments don't give a rat's ass about the people who these things are directed to. All they want are the votes. The more dependence on government they can create, the more likely the elected people who provided the goodies would keep their seats.
That's all and that's it.
If they are taxes, that means that YOU paid into it, you blithering buffoon....or is your head so far up Limbaugh's fat ass that you don't understand how taxes work and why you pay them?
It's not an "entitlement" if you pay into it. So get your neocon/teabagger propaganda straight, because you can't have it both ways, genius.
Not only is there no spoon, but obviously no brain either.
