It seems to me that most of you people wish to hear from those that voted our current president into office. Fine I'll speak.
You see, I'm not a moron nor am I in welfare. I am a college graduate paying a little over 30% in taxes which includes Federal tax ~15%, State Tax ~7%, Social Security ~8%, Fica Medicare ~4%, & State disability ~2%. I don't have the exact numbers on me, but its what I remember from this past tax season when I did them myself.
I'm going to be harsh, and I will probably get flames for it because some of you have it in your minds that those people in welfare are somehow going to be get rich and live a very lavish life style from whatever help they get; in reality most of them are ignorant uneducated fools who will never forfill their full potential. They keep breading and remain being ignorant until/if one of their children breaks the cycle.
Your focus on the help these ignorant indiduals makes me wonder wonder why you care so much? Are you envious of the underprivileged? Is it because you are so close to their level that you feel that they are getting more than what you can provide for youself? When a person is shooting for something greater then what they have, they don't focus on the ground below them, they look up and see the oppertunities that they can take advantage of. I don't gives a sh!t if the government gives help to these people with my tax money, maybe 5% of them will understand the meaning of success comes from hard work, honesty, and integrity other than manipulating the system.
Why do I support health care? Because it's a deterrent (a small one that may help them as well) that keeps many impoverished individuals of the streets; desperation, hunger, anger, etc. can drive the homeless to commit crimes of desperation that can cost way more than what you and I pay in taxes. If you ever live, or visited in a third world country for an extended amount of time, you will understand what the middle/lower class has to put up with in terms of crime. The rich are not safe from kidnappings either, in their 12 ft. walled mansions, body guards, & bulletproof cars.
Here in the USA, you can have anything you want if you work hard for it, but you must be the best at what you do, believe in what you do, and enjoy what you do. (It's not as easy as it sounds) Most successfull people will not complain about how much taxes they pay or where their tax money goes, (without a political agenda in mind) they work with what they got and multiply it. If many of you are going to b!tch about injustice in this country, why don't you look up, not down. Maybe then you will see who really manipulates the system and gets away with the mayority of the money closing opportunities for the middle class in the process.
I sometimes wonder if the mayority of Americans are narrow minded individuals who will only see what they want to see. I know the media has introduced me to many radical conservitive individuals & radical liberal ones that only see their world as black or white. No one wants to be wrong, they want to prove their point at all costs, even it it requires the use of a gun. I found it that I learn more when I'm proven wrong, accept my mistakes, and even though I know my arguments have flaws, I wouldn't be supprised to hear different logical contradiction to my point of view. The only difference is that I can learn from other people's point of views, while others just wish to win the talking point.
Edit Reason: Grammar.
