Why are republicans so stupid when it comes to Food Stamps?

[JonKoch]

Never saw a poor Republican?

If all Republicans work & don't get any government benefits, why do Red States lead the pack in welfare type programs?

A red state does not mean everybody in that state is a Republican. If that were the case, there would be no need for local and state elections. States don't get welfare--people in states get welfare.

We in Ohio are a swing state, but currently pretty red. We have several large cities where Democrats dwell. That's where a lot of our population lives, and that's where you'll most likely find the welfare types.

Republicans want to shrink government. But their core voters benefit from assistance, like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the most.

The Food Stamp Capital of the U.S. is WHITE and REPUBLICAN

US Food Stamp Capital Is 99% WHITE And 95% REPUBLICAN!!!


...It’s Owsley County, Kentucky. A place that is said to be 99.22% white and 95% Republican!

According to the 2010 census reports, Owsley County has the second highest level of child poverty of any county in the United States. In terms of income per household, the county is the poorest in the nation

Between 1980 and 2014, the rate of death from cancer in the county increased by 45.6 percent, the largest such increase of any county in the United States.

The politics and demographics of food stamp recipients

Conservative & Liberal are the same.

And there are Republicans on food stamps contrary to what your buddy said.

According to the Pew report, Republicans have used food stamps at half the rate as Democrats.

You meant to say self reported use of food stamps by GOPers??? LMAOROG

"But when the political lens shifts from partisanship to ideology, the participation gap vanishes. Self-described political conservatives were no more likely than liberals or moderates to have received food stamps (17% for each group), according to the survey."

OMG, you don't even know what rent seeking is. I know this because of your undocumented and based on nothing comment about Obama policies unfavorable towards business. The scourge of rent seeking began to rapidly expand during the Reagan administration and has pretty much grown unabated since then.

Well I tell you what, when I see an economy where more businesses close up than start up, I sorta figure the current economic policies are not exactly favorable to economic growth. So, do you want to continue with the condescension cuz if so I'm outta here.

Then quit with the political bullshit. Obama created far more jobs than Bush. But he did nothing to discourage rent seeking. Rent seeking is when companies seek additional wealth without creating new wealth. In other words, by TAKING instead of MAKING. Citizens United pretty much threw the door wide open.

As the distribution of wealth becomes increasingly unequal, the returns to that wealth—like interest, dividends, and capital gains—will generate more inequality. In addition, the fact that those at higher wealth levels seem to receive higher returns to capital, when coupled with reductions in tax rates on capital income in recent decades, has increased the contribution of capital income to overall inequality. Further, if some firms earn monopoly profits, owners of those firms may benefit more than others.

How Rent-Seeking Is Driving Inequality

"reductions in tax rates on capital income". Did you get that. Obviously, the very first thing we can do is increase the tax rates on capital income to at least the level hard working blue collar Americans pay.

At no time in human history has higher taxes on capital income and redistribution to lower income people EVER resulted in economic growth. NEVER. I'll be back later to expand on that.

LMAOROG, Sure pal, sure

For those earning between the top 0.1 percent and 0.5 percent of the income curve, the numbers were 41.4 percent in 1960, 44.6 percent in 1970, 43.0 percent in 1980, 33.0 percent in 1990, 38.4 percent in 2000 and 33.0 percent in 2004.

For those earning between 0.01 percent and 0.1 percent, the rates were 55.3 percent in 1960, 59.1 percent in 1970, 51.0 percent in 1980, 34.3 percent in 1990, 40.2 percent in 2000 and 34.1 percent in 2004.

Finally, for those in the top 0.01 percent of the income distribution, the effective tax rate was 71.4 percent in 1960, 74.6 percent in 1970, 59.3 percent in 1980, 35.4 percent in 1990, 40.8 percent in 2000 and 34.7 percent in 2004.

Barack Obama says tax rates are lowest since 1950s for CEOs, hedge fund managers


HOW'D THE US ECONOMY DO 1945-1980 AGAIN CUPCAKE?

FactCheck.org says differently:

FactChecking Obama's Budget Speech - FactCheck.org

Sorry cupcake, IF you want to make a posit, or refute the REAL numbers do it, don't provide a link and leave it at that as if I'm supposed to understand right wing nutjobbery!



ONCE MORE CUPCAKE:

For those earning between 0.01 percent and 0.1 percent, the rates were 55.3 percent in 1960, 59.1 percent in 1970, 51.0 percent in 1980, 34.3 percent in 1990, 40.2 percent in 2000 and 34.1 percent in 2004.

Finally, for those in the top 0.01 percent of the income distribution, the effective tax rate was 71.4 percent in 1960, 74.6 percent in 1970, 59.3 percent in 1980, 35.4 percent in 1990, 40.8 percent in 2000 and 34.7 percent in 2004.

So for each of these elite income groups, the effective tax rates were at or near historical lows in 2004, though for certain groups, the effective rate was equal or slightly lower in 1990. Of course, this data is seven years old.

Cupcake, why don't YOU present that since YOU want it.


But how about showing 8 years of Dubya/GOP "job creator policies versus Obama's?

How is that snowflake?

Yeah, that great maobama economy, all those people going to work, yet the welfare has remained constant. Explain how that works.

.

You mean the hole Dubya/GOP "job creator" policies dug US into? Weird right? Care to explain why we should allow those "job creators" to keep their sustained lowest EFFECTIVE tax rate since before the GOP's first great depression, and Cheeto and Comp want to gut their taxes even more? Maybe those "job creators" who are going to get HUGE tax breaks (Walmart's Walton family alone a $52 BILLION further tax reduction) via Cheeto's policies need to create well paying jobs that get people off of Gov't teet? Instead of US continuing to subsidize them?

So you're saying your dear leader didn't do such a great job after all, since the welfare rolls during his time reached record numbers and remained there the whole 8 years? And you want more of the same?

You meant the hole 8 years of Dubya/GOP "job creator" policies PUT US IN and Cheeto wants to put it on steroids??

The Career politician is at fault the matter what side of the aisle... shit for brains

Sure cupcake, NOT the low informed GOP base who "believe" you can cut taxes on those "job creators" and magically get more revenues, but it's the Dems fault for the debt that has exploded since Reaganomics.

Gross eight hundred dollars. Lose two hundred fifty dollars food stamps. Lose at least a hundred dollars a month in the EITC. Pays another seventy five in Social Security taxes and eighty dollars in income taxes. That leaves her with a little less than three hundred dollars. Would you work ten hours a day, two days a week, to bring home seventy five bucks? How do you feel about a 62.5% marginal tax rate?

You don't pay income taxes when you make that little. She would probably lose (after deductions) about $350.00 at the most, and would probably get a lot of that back in her income tax refund. After all less than 10 K a year with two dependents is poverty, so she may get it all back.

Either way, it could have prevented them from losing their home, him having the embarrassment of getting his wages garnished, paying my legal fees and time off of work, and having an eviction on his record.

Would I work for that kind of money? Probably not, but then again I wouldn't have had a family in the first place, feed a large dog and three cats, and would have given up cigarettes.

She might not pay the income taxes but more than likely she would. Her standard deduction and exemptions would have been exhausted covering the husband's income. But she most certainly would pay the Social Security taxes, that's the bigger chunk. She most certainly would have lost some of the EITC.

And I wasn't asking if you would work for eight dollars an hour. I am asking if you would work when you only get twenty to thirty cents on the dollar of whatever wage you were earning.

No, she would get it all back because she is not married to the father of her children. They live together, but government doesn't count that as a two income family. Government doesn't even check into those things.

Then you messed up. You should of told them to get married, then your rent would have gotten paid, and then some. Unless the guy made more than thirty grand, and it sounds like he didn't, the EITC on his income more than offsets the food stamps. Plus, he could have gotten the EITC pre-loaded on his paycheck instead of waiting for a tax refund.

No, no, no. You make out better if you're not married than married. By government standards, she was a single woman with two children and no income. They never considered the father living in the same dwelling. It doesn't matter to the government. Married, she would have not been able to get food stamps--or get very little. As a single woman with two children, she got plenty.

I have tenants who are married. She is a sickly woman and is always at the doctors or hospital. He works but doesn't make the big bucks. But they both work like hell--or within her ability to do so.

She applied for disability and was refused because she was married. Recently, she was finally accepted for partial disability. But at the time, we seriously discussed what she might get if they got a divorce and the government looked only at her income instead of their combined income. I added that if they got a divorce and I put the apartment in her name, HUD might kick in and pay their rent for both of them. See how it works now?

You are so wrong. The EITC is the EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT. The only way to get it is to WORK. The mother didn't work, The father did. But the father can't claim the children on the tax return while the mother is claiming she is single and head of household. For two children that EITC could amount to over six thousand dollars a year.

Your other tenant was not denied disability because she was married. Being married does not disqualify one from getting disability. It does prevent one from collecting SSI, Supplementary Security Income. And getting a divorce would not have helped, you cannot collect SSI if you have ever been married. And if you collect SSI and get married the government reduces your monthly amount by the amount of the spouse's monthly earnings.

But thanks for showing you are a hypocrite. Obviously, if a deadbeat not working lowlife is collecting government money, like say a HUD subsidy, you are more than happy to collect it. In fact, there is not one bit of difference between lying about being married to collect government benefits and lying about not being married to collect government benefits. In short, those government handouts are fine if some of the money ends up in your pocket, even if one has to lie to the government to get it.

It's hard to understand how the number of people on food stamps rose from approx 30 million when Obama took office to around 44 million in 2015 and yet we are told how good the Obama economy was. Seems like a disconnect.

David Brooks, seconds ago

The reason food stamps have expanded is not because of an expansion of the welfare state. It is because a lot of people are near poor due to a fundamental problem with the STRUCTURE of the US economy.

We have a One Percenter in office; we deserve the finest infrastructure money can buy, for our Republic.

Infrastructure by Versace!

We have a One Percenter now, not a "not-for-profit guy".

 

[danielpalos]

1) The cost of food stamps is a small fraction of the overall welfare budget

2) 2/3 of those on food stamps are kids

3) Few people even qualify for food stamps because it is reserved for the poorest of the poor. It's a program way behind on the rate of inflation as well.

4) Some Veterans are on food stamps.

5) Any adult on food stamps has a job

Republicans in congress are either complete assholes or are willfully ignorant.

But hey i get it: it gives republicans hard ons to say "i don't need a handout! I provide! I'm tough as nails! Derp, derp, derp!" They then pretend complete falsehoods or stereotypes about the program because it makes them feel more manly i guess.

Why can't facts ever permeate the republican bubble?

We're not stupid. We want the poor kids to die.

Just Standard, right wing, "hate on the poor"?

 

[RealDave]

.Wrong. Republicans obstructed job programs initiated by Obama.

The reality here is that conservatives have been a thorn in the side of progress ever since they took over in 1994. The almost took us to a depression during Bush, and Obama created jobs for more than 6. years straight . Things could have and would have been better had it not been for republicans deciding they would fight for power instead of for America. This has been our problem and now that we have Trump with a republican majority in the house ad senate, the problem will be magnified.

Fight for power, like the commiecrats are doing now?

Who are the commiecrats? Trumps staff? Did Bannon form a party?

I guess you could answer your own question by looking up who the US Communist Party supported the last three presidential elections.

Bt then how many people tied to the Trump campaign had contact with the Russians and lied about it or did not disclose these on government forms.

Shouldn't those people be fired or prosecuted?

You keep defending them.

There are only two that I know of and one of them resigned. The other was the chairman of the Armed Services Committee who met with foreign dignitaries all the time; it was part of his job.

Neither discussed politics or policies. There is no law that Americans cannot speak to Russians. There is no law that Americans can't have business dealings with Russia. There is no collusion between Trump and Russia. Collusion is selling American uranium to Russia.

Sessions, Manafort, Kushner.

The point is they LIED about it & did not list these on government forms.

And yet you don;t care. You know nothing about what was discussed. If it were all above board, why not admit it? Why lie about itr. Why hide it.

And really, uranium sales. Who sold it?

 

[RealDave]

Never saw a poor Republican?

If all Republicans work & don't get any government benefits, why do Red States lead the pack in welfare type programs?

A red state does not mean everybody in that state is a Republican. If that were the case, there would be no need for local and state elections. States don't get welfare--people in states get welfare.

We in Ohio are a swing state, but currently pretty red. We have several large cities where Democrats dwell. That's where a lot of our population lives, and that's where you'll most likely find the welfare types.
