Democrats And The Poor

Think that the government taxes the poor to death and lets the rich slide? Perhaps this might change your mind. For every dollar of taxes collected in 2004, the Federal government spent $0.32 cents on the top 20 percent. For the bottom 20 percent? $14.76 for each dollar collected. So in other words, the bottom 20 percent of received 14x the amount of government spending then what they put in.

How is that fair? Why is it that just because you earn more money they other people, that you don't get your fair share? I'm not calling for people to be let to starve to death, but $14 bucks per dollar collected? That's ridiculous! How is it fair that someone paid attention in class, busted their ass and now makes a good living rather then someone who didn't pay attention in class or decides they just don't want to work and yet they get more "bang for their buck" then someone who pays more taxes then the rest of us combined?

Democrats would have you believe that the poor need even more programs and handouts. I don't want to give a handout, I want to give a hand up. On welfare and can work? We'll give you a job. Streets need cleaning, computers need repairing, and there's a ton of other things that the government needs done but doesn't have the man power for. I'd much rather give someone a job so they can support their family rather then just hand over money for no return. It's called EARNING your money.
