If the cost to do this was spread evenly to everyone who makes more than 20K a year, would you still be in favor of it?
If you say NO, well the joke is on you because you can bet that this will trickle down to the middle class.
I just can't understand the logic of penalizing people who work hard and are successful and rewarding the people who are lazy and ignorant. It makes NO sense.
Why reward people for being lazy. Why reward people who are not responsible and blow the money they make. Why reward people for not trying to further educate themselves and drop out of high school. Why reward people for having 5 kids, when they can't afford to have 1. Why reward people who break the laws of this control and come here illegal? Why reward people who receive govt money and then spend it on drugs or gambling?
Why do we take more money from the people who spend years educating themselves, who work their asses off 60-80 hours a week. Who save their money and spend responsibly, who wait till they can afford to have kids, who stay away from drugs, who build successful companies and hire people (CREATE JOBS).
Our whole society is based on giving hand outs and rewarding people for not contributing positively in our society and trying to drag down the people who are making the biggest contributions and have busted their ass with blood sweat and tears to do so.
I just doesn't make any sense. How can anyone with 2 brain cells think that this system is fair, much less in the best interest of EVERYONE. Tearing down the people who contribute so they can give free hand outs to the bottom DOES NOT help the country as a whole prosper int the right direction. People should be held accountable for their actions and if they truly need help, then they can get it. But if they are just lazy and riding the system (like most) they shouldn't be given a penny. Get up off you ass and get a job, be responsible with your money, stop doing drugs, stop having kids you can't afford. As long as they are receiving free money they will have no incentive to change... /rant

This argument makes absolutely no sense....The lazy are rewarded every day RIGHT NOW!!!
I don't think it's FAIR that one can work hard to live in a neighborhood while a broke muthafucka lives next door with a government subsidized Section 8 certificate.
I don't think it's FAIR that people are struggling to pay their mortgage while an adult with a bunch of kids who failed in life gets a new house built for them free and clear by people like Habitat For Humanity....
I don't think it's FAIR that women are allowed to make baby after baby and get FREE MEDICAID for both the children AND the mother while other single working mothers who are barely making it can't get insurance.....
I don't think it's fair for a woman to have child after child and have a full refrigerator of food purchased with food stamps while other folks struggle to eat ramen.
I don't think the child support system is FAIR.....
There's a LOT of shit that I don't think is FAIR....But guess what? LIFE AIN'T FAIR!!.......And since you're so "educated" yourself, you would have learned in Economics of the "trickle down effect".....So just because some lazy fucks will benefit does not mean that hard working honest american taxpayers have to suffer because YOU don't think it's fair...
If you don't like how shit is taxed, take it up with the IRS, who has been backed by both Democrat and Republican presidents alike.....And only a fucking moron would think that everyone who needs healthcare and can't afford it are doing drugs....That's fucking idiotic.
