Freeloader Facts . . .

.
In Those Days, it seems like I always worked. As I recall, when I was young, I worked for a small allowance from my parents doing odd jobs around the house.

And then at about age 12 or so, I shovelled snow in the winters, raked leaves in the fall, mowed lawns in the summers, and helped plant gardens in the spring. What I earned, I kept. I was taught to save, and spend only what I needed, and since my wants were not much, I did well at saving.

When I was about 16, I always had a summer job like washing dishes or pumping gasoline and it was about then that I learned that my earnings were taxable. I paid unemployment tax, federal income tax, state income tax, social security tax, disability and unemployment insurance.

And I've been paying taxes ever since. In return, I've never received unemployment, disability, welfare, social security, medicare, disability, or any other assistance from the government. My children never ate a free meal at school, and never were arrested. And today, they are paying their fair share of taxes too.

But today, it has been said that nearly half of Americans don't pay taxes at all. Yet I know that those that don't pay taxes at all, receive the vast majority of government services. They are usually the ones that need police services, either because they are beating someone or getting beaten themselves. They are the ones that are on welfare, disability, or in prison.

Their ghetto houses burn more often, their children are on school lunch programs, they are more often on unemployment or disability. And, to top that off, they are the ones that steal my crap!

They often do not have driver's licenses or auto insurance. They are more often alcoholics or drug addicts. They don't bother to practice safe sex, and foster their kids out upon birth.

For example, many of these individuals beg on the streets, making 10-50 dollars an hour. Or he might work for $6 hr. He might have a wife and 5 children, although some of them might not be his. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free.

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent. He qualifies for food stamps..He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care. His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school. His kids require bilingual teachers and books. He qualifies for relief from high energy bills. If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for Social Security. Once qualified, they can get Medicare. All of this is at our (mine) taxpayer's expense.

He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance. Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material. He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits. Yet, he pays no taxes!

Now, our President is back at it again. He wants to build his fan base of freeloaders, and raise taxes for those of us that work! And, you know what? He will likely get away with it because those 50% of us that don't pay taxes. They will all vote for him. Then with just a few more ignorant socialists votes, he is in again!

Look out! Majority Rules! Oh, happy days!
