Trump promised to release his tax returns. Let me know when he does. He may well be one of those common crooks you are talking about.
While you are at it...tell me what federal welfare programs you are aware of. SS? Nah...people paid into SS and are retired and collecting their own money. Medicaid? Really? You think people who can't afford medical care should just do without? Foodstamps? Do you know what percentage of the people collecting foodstamps are children? Most of them.
So what federal program do you want to say is paying money to freeloaders? Be specific...

Being you know he has not shown you his tax returns, which as you state means that He may well be one of those common crooks RT was talking about, SURELY you must ALSO know it means he may NOT be one as well, correct? So why the need to present us with one possibility and leave out the other? Hummmmmmmm...
"

Not entirely accurate my friend.
While there is no doubt this IS how SS was originally intended and run it morphed into so much more decades ago. It is true that initially
people paid into SS and then retired and collected
their own money. But soon it changed to where the spouses of those who paid could also collect their money. And then later the children of those who paid were allowed to collect a SS check when the one who paid died, was disabled or disappeared. Still later people who came here later in life were allowed to collect SS at retirement age even if they had not lived here and paid SS during the vast years they were of working and paying in age.
Whose monies were/are these people collecting?
"

Do you have an argument explaining how this is not a government redistribution of wealth? An actual intellectual one, leaving emotions and feigned morals out is there something you can offer to explain how these types of programs are actually funded? Those we can all agree are worthy and necessary as well as those we may disagree with, all of them.
"
Foodstamps? Do you know what percentage of the people collecting foodstamps are children? Most of them."
Same as above. Agreed, most worthy and absolutely necessary, in
most cases, but still, by definition a "giveaway".
"

Trying to justify the government taking money from one and using it to give something to another by refusing to address it for what it is doesn't work, sport, sorry. Things are what they are, they can't just be called something else in order to make it easier to support and defend them. I, like you, find some of these necessary and even noble. However trying to make it evil to call them what they are is demeaning. If one is receiving a home, food, clothing, transportation, health care, an education etc. all of which are funded by tax monies paid by others but not themselves, basically for "free", wellllll......... they may just have to accept that some of the others paying for the "free" stuff may at some point want to label them as "free"loaders or some other less than flattering term.
Still a small price to pay as compared to paying money to supply these things for yourself AND all of those who qualify for "help" from others.
