Lack of Workers

“So if anyone is mad that Billy Joe Bob is getting food stamps, then be mad at Jeff Bezos for not paying federal taxes.”

I’m failing to see logic in this statement. You act as though corporations exist to feed our government. Your socialist agenda is really shining through.

Our government has plenty of methods to suck money out of taxpayers, which they then waste and collect for their own wealth building. You should be more mad at them than harping on businesses.

If someone truly threatened with a bomb and planted it, they would be a terrorist. As for the rest of the fools, they should be arrested for assaulting a police officer or destruction of property if they did so. By your definition, any cop killer should be labeled a terrorist. We all know that will never happen.

I haven’t said anything about them but do you think antifa are terrorists?

The definition of terrorism:

The unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a Government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

Antifa are Terrorists too. They use violence in an attempt to achieve some sort of political gain.

I think you missed the post about how the majority of people getting govt assistance, work at least 32 hrs a week. There’s a common misconception that people getting govt benefits are just lazy, jobless scammers.

Every single business and person feeds the government in some way. The govt takes money from people that the govt didn’t earn. That’s my point. Why get mad at the people that get a few dollars, but not corporations that make billions and get tax breaks or bailouts? And why get mad at either of those when it’s the govt that let the rich get away with whatever they please, meanwhile the rest of us get the big green weeny?

My logic is, the govt takes money from citizens so if some citizens can get some of that money back… go for it. Otherwise the govt will just use that to further their agenda and pad their pockets.

In as much as the government still keeps handing out free money, there's going to be shortage of workers.

Our government runs off money from tax collections of individuals and corporations. If no taxes are collected you would have no money to fund the military , public education , roads , medicare , social security , welfare programs etc.

The argument goes that the corporate fat cat should not pay taxes because it is creating jobs. The corporate fat cat also funds the re-election campaigns of the politicians elected by taxpayers they are suppose to represent. The elected politician then has no problem arguing for no/low taxes for a corporate fat cat but has all kinds of concerns and problems with a person living below the poverty line getting a free loaf of bread.

I feel like you're playing both fields. You're saying, basically, it's terrorism until the terrorists win. You know it's written in the constitution that we can overthrow our government if they overstep. We just haven't tried hard enough. If Antifa actually took over and instituted a government how they see fit, would you be ok with that? Would you call those who resist terrorists? If Jan 6th actually was a successful overtaking and put our government back in it's place, how would you feel about that?

Scenario 1. No corporate income tax. ABC corp makes a widget and is able to sell it for $10 and be competitive in the market and make enough in earnings to satisfy investors.
Scenario 2. ABC gets charged $1 in income tax resulting on the profit from the sale of the $10 widget. How much does ABC corp now charge for widget?

You're telling me you actually like the direction our government has taken?

I will argue that back that those benefits create laziness and dependency that hurts most of us. I don’t know the numbers for the scammers, but they are absolutely there substantially and have been for a while. I’ve seen it first hand weather double dipping or treating it like a golden ticket. Not all welfare recipients but that system is broken and corrupt.
