Your picture brought up the subject government handouts. I was just clarifying it for you.

If by which you mean the receivers of the government's largess, yes.

It's still the taking from the one who earned it and giving it to the one who didn't!

I don't anymore. Not enough deductions. No debts, no expenses, house is paid down enough, taxes ain't worth it. I get more outta my taxes, anymore, if I just take standard.


Yes, we have worked it up sideways, upside down, inside out...there just ain't no way, here anyway, to itemize.

We are in the same boat---no itemizing here. I suppose I could cheat and lie about donations and other things but I would prefer to sleep at night. I still have friends who lie about lots of tax stuff and brag about it. Maybe I will make that a source of other income once my pension is cut. The IRS does give a nice reward for turning in tax cheats.

the middle class and the poor should unite against the rich, instead of being turned against one another by the rich.

Never happen---the middle class has spent a lifetime subsidizing the poor and are tired of it.

That's one of those lies that have been repeated so many times people believe it.

No it isn't.

It's taking LESS from those who earned it.

Maybe it's you that has broadened the term CORPORATE WELFARE that no longer understands the term.

Just like "scab"

 

[wkmac]

Just like "scab"

That term has become so stretched if you look it up in a contemporary dictionary it sez "see spandex!"

 

[realbrown1]

Maybe.

But I only know 1 definition for SCAB.

A jerk that crosses a picket line to work.
