Why cant a lot of democrats who support higher taxes take responsibility for their lives?

Question

why must taxes pay welfare for people, many of whom are just too lazy to go out and find a job, they are just trying to slide through life. Why should we punish the people who work hard to get a good education and then a good job by taxing them because they have worked to get a good life while others haven't and yet receive money for it?

Answer 1

Because laziness and communism is the Democratic way.

Unwed, crackhead welfare mothers who think we owe them something for perceived historical injustices that they did not even experience.

I have no problem with welfare for people who genuinely need it, but ALOT of people abuse the system.

Answer 3

Is it your goal today to show us all how unintelligent you are? Because if it is you can stop now and go do something else. Point proven.

It's a classic Republican skew tactic. Welfare is something that takes money from them so they have to find away to cast it in a dark light. So, they've told people that welfare is nothing but a free ride, while the truth is that thousands of normally self suffiecient people have to turn to welfare every year. A major accident leaves you unable to work, a parent or child gets seriously sick, a job is lost because of cutbacks or foreign outsourcing. Imagine that happening to you. None of these things were your fault. Wouldn't you want your governement and your community there for you? Of course you would. So why wouldn't you be there for others?

In addition, not everyone starts off from square one. Put yourself in other people's shoes once in awhile. What if you were born to a mother that smoked crack while you were in the womb? Everything comes around in life. One day you'll be in a jam and no one will be there to help. Then you'll see that not everyone lives cupcake lives like you out of daddy's wallet.

Learn to have more compassion. In the meantime keep your hands off the keys because you are obviously a functional r****d.

Answer 5

Why can't you put your question in the right section?

Answer 6

I bet you'd have more luck in the Politics section :o)

Answer 7

The same reason that people were taxed, and those taxes payed for the public school that you went to growing up, the bus you rode to school, and the free lunch you ate.

Why did people's tax money have to be used to pay for that?  Why were your parents so lazy that they didn't find better jobs so that they could send you to private school?  

You clearly have no real understanding of the purposes of taxation and the government's role in our society.

I don't see you asking a question about the taxpayer's money going to fund this pointless war.

Answer 11

I understand where you are coming from NASTY.  I don't exactly live in the Hills so I live around alot of poor people.  And what bothers me most is that alot of them are my age and on their 3rd child and living on welfare.

I take enough pride in myself to get an education and a good job and make sure my baby girl is taken care of.  I would never call her a mistake, but I do know that I am going to be capable of caring for another one before I go get pregnant.  It makes me sad.  Alotta moms in my neighborhood just look so sad and tired and I feel sorry for them.  

But at the same time I wish they would get up and go do something about it.

@SAG I get where you are coming from too, but I do think that the Welfare system needs a SERIOUS overhaul.  Lotta people getting a check each month who could be out working.  At least thats what I see where I am from and it may be very different in other places.
