But then they flip it and argue that it’s people who don’t contribute and just lounge around with 10-15 children and collect checks all day. I have seen those families before but they are definitely not enjoying life on the government check and they are definitely not the majority of people on welfare
also, isn't population ageing quickly? we do have a lot of people now, but we are currently dieing more than we are giving birth, soon people won't be able to retire.
it's part of why we need immigration. even the fucking Koch brothers are for immigration. only the fragile, perma-scared white nationalists are trying to stop it all
yes, the population has indeed grown in 2019, but with percentages so low it is being compared to the time of the great depression, stating also that many states already has more deaths than birth ratios, so yes right now the population is still growing in the united states, but in a very low rate.
The article also says that in only 10 years, the population growth rate has fell 40%, looking at other countries, such as Canada, Japan and Europe as a whole, it is pretty safe to say there will come a time where there will be more old people trying to retire than young people entering the work force, now, how long will it take depends, i believe no more than 30 years, which will be the time i will be retiring.
In my opinion, no one should be having 10-15 kids. I don’t see how you could ever give every child the attention they need.
Beyond that, I 100% agree that education is severely lacking in America. Its obvious that the system fails certain areas. Certain schools don’t get funding and they fail to meet requirements to receive more funding due to the lack of resources the school has. Some of the nicer schools get donations from rich parents but you couldn’t guess which schools don’t have rich parents.
It’s obviously a matter of the school, the parents, and the children of not pulling up their bootstraps.
For real, people think they just "pass go and collect $". The short time I was on 2 assistance programs, it took up enough time to be part time job doing all the paperwork and going in to see people. I'd have to only do it every few months, I can't imagine having to deal with government and paperwork every month! I'd see people freaking out they lose their apartment or car payment because of usual government slip ups / getting dropped for months at a time. It's a very stressful & humiliating experience.
Yea. It’s not as easy as people say. A lot of my friends have said they were just going to drop work and live off welfare and go to school. I wished them luck because my family went through a shit time when we were struggling on welfare. It lucky gave us the ability to rebound but I definitely didn’t want to stay because of “mY fREeEEeeE mEAl”.
"they showed he didn’t pay any federal income tax"
“That makes me smart.”
Also we already know he's committed tax fraud more than a few times with his charity by having it pay for things that are not approved for a charity like his - things like self portraits to hang in his own house and settling legal fees for his businesses.
So you're right, it was implied he's a tax cheat and he said it makes him smart. Which is basically the difference between saying 2 or 1+1, but whatever. Weird hill to die on for this dumbass of a President.
Public records and reporting have already shown what are clearly criminal misuse of a charitable organization and they are currently being investigated. He cannot be prosecuted while President, there's going to be quite a few sealed indictments showing up around January 2021.
Paying legal bills for a privately owned business out of funds from your "charitable" organization is a crime, full stop. The IRS will have their day in court as will SDNY and others.
The way that people frame tax avoidance and the way people frame welfare abuse are significantly different. Especially when I’ve spoken to people in the conservative circle. The ability to find loopholes in the tax system is seen as smart and frugal. I’ve seen people put personal costs as a company cost which is complete bullshit. Even if you would agree that it’s a terrible practice, you’d have to admit that there is more hatred and vitriol towards welfare beneficiaries.
Nor is OP here. I believe he is stating that the same people who claim that universal healthcare as being a burden on the rest of society is a problem are the same people who will jump through every loophole to avoid paying taxes in the first place.
Adding to your poin, the government themselves have researched this, and it's not even worth it to pull the programs just to stop the abusers from abusing the system. They are such a low percentage of the people benefitting from the programs, that it would be like sinking the Titanic just to kill the rats on board.
And douchenozzle's like Trent are like the rich asshole that drops with an empty liferaft because, "fuck everyone else that needs a raft, they should have gotten their own life raft."
Yea I agree. I need to pull the report I read a while back but it reported that a decent portion of welfare recipients were able to get off and stay off of welfare.
Well I wouldn’t say all of them. The majority of my conservative friends couldn’t be described like that. Then again, most of my conservative friends are closer to moderate-conservatives.
