Please, a lot of our taxes & paychecks go towards the Elderly's retirement, School children, the Disabled, and Veterans.

The current tax on all Social Security programs is 12.4% up to $137700. All monies earned after that point are not taxed for Social Security.
The current tax on Medicare/Medicaid is 2.9%...same limits.
Public schools are not taxed at the federal level. They are local taxes, authorized by your State, along with levies that are put up for vote from time to time. They are usually part of the property tax in a State.

Nothing authorized the federal government Social Security program or the Medicare/Medicaid program. They DO have the authority to implement a healthcare program for it's employees and ex-employees, including the military services. That is paid for out of the military budget, one of the reasons the federal government was even created in the first place.

You are trying to justify socialism. Typical arrogant student.

Be forewarned, the TD twins, Truth Detector and Teflon Don, are my #1 and #2 guesses, respectively, for "Most likely to make the 6 O'Clock News" List. Seriously. One day one of them will suddenly drop offline then "coincidentally" some nutjob will have hurt people in a synagogue, church, "liberal" rally, etc.

Bigotry. Nutjobs are both conservative and liberal in scope.

Bigotry.

Mental illness has nothing to do with how happy one is.

Psychoquackery.

There's plenty of evidence, that the best & brightest have more mental ailments.

In this study, mood disorders included depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, and bipolar disorder. Estimates of mood disorders within the adult population range from 8.4% to 12% (Olfson, Blanco, & Marcus, 2016; Pinto Pereira, Geoffoy, & Power, 2014). As expected, there was a higher incidence of mood disorders in the high intelligence sample; 17.3% more than the national average as reported by the NIMH (Kessler et al., 2005). The associated RR is 2.82, which indicates an increase of risk by 182% for those of high intelligence in developing at least one of these mood disorders. For the combination of diagnosed and suspected diagnoses, there was 3.85 times the risk (an increase of 285%).

Anxiety disorders in this study included generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). As hypothesized, there was a greater prevalence of anxiety disorders among those with high intelligence: 9.1% more than the national average when limited to these three categories (Kessler et al., 2005). Overall, there was 1.83 times the risk of being formally diagnosed with anxiety (an increase of 83%). When including those who suspected that they should be diagnosed, there was a risk of 3.42, an increase of 242% as compared to the national average.

Prevalence of ADHD (and the older diagnosis of ADD) was significantly greater in the high intelligence sample—an increased prevalence of 3.3% compared to the national average (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2002). Overall, those of high cognitive ability are 1.8 times as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD compared to the national average (an 80% increase). Further, when combined with those who suspected diagnoses, there was 3.39 times the risk of developing ADHD symptoms, a 239% increase compared to the national average.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) includes the DSM-IV diagnoses of autism, Asperger's syndrome, and other PDDs. ASD is typically only studied in children, thus rendering comparisons between prior studies and this sample difficult.

That's where most of your tax dollars go.

Besides, most who get welfare proper are families.

Single & childless couples rarely will ever get welfare proper.

It helps prevent homelessness among families.

Who wants more homeless children?

It causes homelessness. Socialism always creates misery. It is theft of wealth.

Lack of bigotry, is a sign of ignorance, if you ask me.

You are Politically correct idiots, trained to the T to do as you are told.

Nope, not a Republican.

Obvious.

No it doesn't, Homelessness is caused by lack of poverty measures.

A biggie is the Mentally Ill, or working poor awaiting for public house, because they can't afford rents.

Of course, you deleted my links which show that it's mostly the Elderly & Disabled who get assistance.

Only 10% of Federal budget of benefits went to cash benefits.

Compositional error fallacy.

Over 55% went to the Elderly.

Base rate fallacy.

Besides, almost all of this money is spent back into the economy, not a huge catastrophe.

Socialism doesn't work. It doesn't matter if the money goes into the economy. That's irrelevant.

This one below, shows a lot of them who aren't elderly, or disabled, are WORKING.

So?

According to this, Oklahoma was one of the most Irish-American states.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Irish_ancestry_in_the_USA_and_Canada.png

But, Oklahoma is one of the least Catholic states in the Union.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/most-catholic-states_n_4747647

On one hand Wiki puts over 23% of Oklahoma as "Irish-American"
But, on the other hand, only 9% of Oklahoma was Catholic.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/167120/mississippi-alabama-protestant-states.aspx

Most of those 9% Catholics in Oklahoma were probably Latinos.

I see you trust the fake news and Wikipedia unquestioningly. Obviously, you cannot think for yourself, since you are continually copying someone else's arguments as your own.

Native Americans are the Indigenous Indians.

All people born in the United States are native Americans. That's what 'native American' means.

There is no such thing as 'indigenous Indians'. The indians are themselves arrivals from elsewhere (indications are Asia?). Tribes have wandered all over the Americas, not just the United States. The indians didn't just pop out of the ground, you know.

Typical student arrogance.

Native American Indians are the real indigenous people, they developed here for over 10,000 years.

Meanwhile, you're probably indigenous to Scotland, or England. (I'm guessing by your extreme idiocy & extreme Individualism)

 

[StoneByStone]

The soft bigotry of low expectations is far worse than telling people, regardless of race, that boot strapping is better for you in the long run. Vs staying on govt assistance you're whole life.

Boot strapping is wrong for anyone. Nobody makes it all on their own and part of living in a society is helping each other. Even animals know this.
If you use medicine and roads or enjoy the protection of police and the military, you're being assisted by the government.

As for "soft bigotry," you're calling black people slaves for agreeing with liberal policies. You don't do this for white people. You're injecting race into a situation that has nothing to do with race in order to make yourself seem virtuous and make your opponents seem racist. This is white guilt SJW bullshit.

There's a difference of supporting enough money to live, and not harming others in the process, and helping the poor.

Making money does not necessarily harm others. Reversal fallacy. Compositional error fallacy.

And greedy Individualists, who hate the poor, and have OCD over taxes.

Bigotry. Individualists are not necessarily greedy. They do not necessarily hate the poor. They may or may not support a particular tax.

Also Individualists typically don't understand Capitalism, in the first place.

Obviously YOU don't, as evidenced by the following statements.

Capitalism only has so many job positions, as the market demands.

Capitalism has no limit of jobs. It is far more than jobs. You can create your own job.

But, they think everyone can pull themselves up by the boot straps.

They can, if they have the initiative to do so.

Not true, even if everyone was extremely smart & skilled, we'd still need burger flippers, lawn mowers, toilet scrubbers,

Intelligence not required. Skill not required. You can obtain both as you go along. You can make money flipping burgers, mowing lawns, or scrubbing toilets (some people make a LOT of money and have created whole companies to scrub toilets!). Flipping burgers by one guy turned into hiring others to do the same, and that became McDonalds. Capitalism at work. Whole companies are formed to mow lawns now. There's good money in it.

Elitism. You put down the people that do these jobs as 'beneath' you.

Capitalism is simply people making money in a free market by providing services and products that people are free to buy by their own choice. It is the creation of wealth.
Socialism can only exist by stealing wealth. Socialism requires capitalism to steal from.

Socialism only brings misery. It can only be implemented through oligarchies and dictatorships, since people do not volunteer to have their wealth taken by force.

making scab wages,

Buzzword fallacy. You don't even know what a 'scab' is.

according the Capitalist sets of wages.

Buzzword fallacy. No such thing. Capitalism does not set wages. Wages are set by market forces. Government interference in the form of price controls never work. They always cause shortages. Example: minimum wage laws that cause businesses to not hire people because they cost more than market forces would be. Instead, they automate, relocate, or close. For the poor schmucks that believed minimum wage laws would help them, they are out of work. They'll have to go try to make money some other way.

You can create your own business, ONLY if the demand is there from society.

There can't be 200 million businesses, (Rolls eyes)

There also can't be 200 million doctors (Rolls eyes)

Yes, the Capitalist market creates the job demand, and the Capitalist market sets the wages.

So, long as there's more modest income jobs in demand, there will always be winners & losers.

That's why most people support safety networks, except of course bozo Libertarians.
