Is that why you want to end Medicaid and food stamps and housing assistance and energy assistance?
What do you think the recipients of that help will do after it's gone?
Would it be pointless to wait for you to tell the truth?
Seems that anything beyond "vote Democrat" is too nuanced for you.
I'm asking you what will happen to the recipients of the welfare system after you've managed to fulfill your desire of ending all of their assistance?
How will that magically make their lives better?
what happened to them before the welfare system? They found jobs. No one wants to eliminate help for the truly needy, those who are physically or mentally unable to care for themselves, but able bodied people should not be given a free meal ticket, free housing, and free energy.
Able bodied people receiving any form of welfare should be required to do public service work before getting their payments-----------clean the streets, paint public buildings, collect the trash, clean the ditches, etc. AND, they should have to pass a drug test before even getting on the list and another one before collecting each payment.
Millions of people eligible for Medicaid and food stamps etc. HAVE jobs.
yes, and if they earn less than the minimum they would pay zero under any of the flat tax plans, and they would keep getting Medicaid and food stamps.
The OP's flat tax plan taxes gross income from your 1st dollar. Stay on topic.
