US Now Redistributes More Than $2 Trillion a Year or 81% of Receipts

It's not a relevant question. If this and IF that.

The point here is not to debate who voted for the bullshit. But to show that SS is, in fact, part of the redistribution schemes the government operates. SS is paid out through general budget appropriations because the money was already spent to pay for those who are now collecting. On top of that, it's one of the largest drains on Fed budgets we have...and growing.

If its around and IF you get to collect can you bitch? Who fuckin' cares.

It's relevant because of YOUR OWN comment: "But I'm certianly not giving them a pass either. They voted for this shit"


That's why the question is completely relevant.

 

[DiamondDave]

Which programs would you end?

Food stamps
Welfare
Subsidized Housing
HUD
HHS
Pell Grants
AoA
Medicaid

etc etc etc... ALL entitlements, INCLUDING stimulus etc for businesses should be eliminated from the federal government.. period

Including tax welfare for the rich and the companies/ So you want just a straight tax with no deductions?

Bingo

 

[TakeAStepBack]

Fine. The answer is no. I actually voted the last two cycles for the guy who wanted to make SS optional. So the answer is NO.

For the record… The US collected $2.45 trillion in receipts in 2012.
And, according to this latest report, the government redistributed $2 trillion or 81% of those receipts.
And Obama wants to redistribute even more.

You haven't seen anything yet. Wait until someone who is the to the Left of Obama, become our next President ...or will be Prime Minister?

Democrats quietly throwing presidential support behind Elizabeth Warren: report

.

yeah I know, I can hardly wait
We'll see if the people are stupid enough again after Obama and his comrades in arms administation
same for Hillary...Obama in a pantsuit

The Daily Caller reported:
Government redistributes more than $2 trillion in one year | The Daily Caller


Government policies effectively redistributed more than $2 trillion in income from the top 40 percent of American society to the bottom 60 percent in 2012, according to a new study from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation.

The study tracked the beneficiaries of government spending programs largely paid for by taxpayers who are not very big beneficiaries of those programs.

I really wonder why such a social policy pisses you off? I understand you're a callous conservative, but the vehemence of the hate your carry for people you don't know, in circumstances you don't understand, is in my opinion sick (pathological).

Why do you care so much for the top 40% and have such little regard for the bottom 60%? Don't you realize (of course you don't) that the bottom 60% likely perform a greater percentage of the labor - real work - of the nation?

Fine. The answer is no. I actually voted the last two cycles for the guy who wanted to make SS optional. So the answer is NO.

So your comment doesn't apply.

Just saying dude. People need to learn to not make the logical fallacy of broad brushing. It makes conversations shorter and much more concise.

too bad they didn't take the time to break down all polls and studies saying the Tea Party are racist or Fox viewers are ill informed and stupid people, etc etc huh?

government lovers in this country are pretty sick, warped and twisted

Didn't you say once you worked for the government? Didn't you say you worked in a school?

You know they're counting taxes for public education as a redistribution of wealth in this study?

...because poor kids get to go to school no matter how poor their parents are.

Good grief. You were just itching to find a way out of the hole you dug for yourself in the thread. So the solution is cherry picking statements adn running with them.

Well done?

[Moonglow]

I think it is great that the US returns monies collected to it's citizens.
Better than if they just kept it for their own use.

 

[PixieStix]

Bullshit. As a single male with no dependents who works full time, I receive absolutely no benefits from redistribution, but pay in. THAT is who pays in. Guys just like me so turds who procreate and live outside their means can have a little something extra from my hard work.

My complaint is that I can not be left alone to work and keep my property. And your retort is that I'm receiving the benefits being taken from me?

Fuck off.

Yep, exactly

I didn't dig any hole, weirdo.

 

[Vox]

All I have to say is this:

Liberals, are you happy? Everything you want to be done has been done.

The results are in. Your policies suck.

Have a nice day.

Which programs would you end?

there are tons of programs which can be ended.

You're complaining because the Rich pay a bigger share of their income as taxes than you do.

I'm asking you, what are you willing to give up in order to increase your share of the bill?

Despite the massive redistribution of wealth , some ignorant scumbag started a thread claiming that the US has a "Capitalist" economy.
