Farmers, suppliers, plant workers, transportation,etc. Then you get all these people going out buying groceries stimulating the economy even more. While they are there they buy more items that's not food. Pay for gas, etc. Parts to fix equipment to fix machinery used to produce this food. Etc Now. Tell me. Does t still do what you just said? @ torillian Yes. If he was to win he would need to make many mad. But not tax payers and voters. The Rich and powerful, special interest who do not care about complaining Americans. |
The problem with your arguement is... you are ingoring the part where taxes take money OUT of the economy until it's redistributed as foodstamps. Hurting the economy.
That's generally the part people, often unknowingly, but sometimes intentionally leaves out.
If you do studies that account for both welfare spending and the cost on the economy of the taxes. Welfare is a net negative overall.
Generally however people will just dishonestly look at what the welfare spending will do, ignroing the fact that that money woudl be doing something somewhere else if not taxed in the first place.
Not that welfare should be justified on the sense of "economic sense".
It doesn't make "Economic sense". Donating to charity doesn't individually make "Economic sense" either though.
