It's because of the last statement on that sign. If you want social security you can't complain when you have to actually pay for it through taxes.

Learn to fucking read. And think. Faggot.

I'm no fan of Social Security (not by a long shot) but social security was paid for by people who work. Crooked politicians robbed the Social Security trust fund. Even if they hadn't it's been little more than a Ponzi scheme but that doesn't change the fact that people paid for social security their whole lives. It's not government charity.

the real plunder is disability. people who have never worked a day in their life can get disability for the lamest shit. and there ain;t too many White faces at the SS offices anymore, either working there or getting services.

Blah, blah, blah ... People were lied to, people think their money is being invested for them so they have somethign in the future when in reality the current generation making payments is who is paying for them ... blah blah blah.

Being stupid and ignorant doesn't change reality. He made a sign that basically says I am too stupid and ignorant to know that my social security cheque is being billed out to me with todays taxes.

Stop trying to twist this into something it isn't.

Whatever

All taxes go in one big slush fund. There is no distinction between sales tax, income tax, property tax or toll roads. The way taxation works is that governments need to tax you at the maximum amount possible without triggering a revolution. The way they do that is they chop up taxes into tiny little packages, package them up and label them things like property tax, sales tax, income tax, property tax, whatever.

However, your property tax NEVER EVER makes it into a bank account called YOUR DISTRICTS SCHOOL FUND. It all gets placed into a slush fund and appropriated according to the lies your government tells you and tells them selves.

If you are receiving ANY social security of any sort, you are paying through all of your direct taxes right now via deposit into a slush fund and redistributed out to the various agencies as appropriate.

The only caveat is that there are many many slush funds so it looks like things are allocated properly but they never are.

Look, fine, we all know that lots of money is wasted, I can agree with you on that

BUT

I am not arguing on where money go after it is collected

I am arguing that taxes should be on income ONLY

  • not on items being sold
  • not on property value
