Sorry, I was driving across town from shooting a scene.
I actually work every once in a while between posting on GFY.
Actually I think it should be one or the other. A national sales tax (except for food which should be tax free) OR a flat tax.
Give the greedy govt. both and they would take full advantage of it.
FIRST thing is for the Feds to STOP spending money.
Sooner or later the money lenders will stop lending. And then NONE of the bleeding heart liberal social programs will be able to be implemented. I'd rather we cut the fuck out of defense and be able to help the truly needy and get the ones able to work back on their way to self sustainability. (yeah, I know....the govt. has tried to do that for decades, never works)
Your argument just seems to keep revolving around taking MORE money from citizens and giving it to thieves in Washington D.C.
Now...I answered you. How about answering my question about your MSNBC talking point that "red" states get the most govt. assistance.
I showed the stats:
"Alaska gets the most federal money. $20,351.13 per resident
That's not the people of Alaska not working and on welfare...it's ALASKA for God's sake! That figure includes all the money that the feds have to spend to even function in Alaska.
Second biggest is...Virginia. Specifically the part of Virginia that borders...you guessed it: Washington D.C.
$19,734 per resident.
But THE biggest by FAR is a total BLUE area. I say "area" because it's not a state.
It's Washington D.C.
Predominantly black. Dirt poor. And the nations capital.
Get ready for this: $83,196.12 per resident !!!!!!!!"
How do YOU account for Washington D.C. spending the much federal money per resident?
Holy fuck...everybody, and I do mean EVERYBODY in Washington D.C. SHOULD be living an upper middle class lifestyle with that much federal money per resident.
But if you've ever been in Washington D.C. you know what a shithole it is and how dangerous it is to walk the streets at night.
