Cut the expensive welfare program
No, not the ones that give healthcare, food stamps, or social security. The ones that are actually costing the avg American household thousands of dollars a year.
The welfare programs we need to cut are the corporate welfare.
The avg American household loses [b][u]$6000[/u][/b] a year to corporate welfare programs.
So I ask, where is the cry from republicans who are "fiscally conservative" to cut these programs that are costing us billions?
[quote]Overall, American families are paying an annual $6,000 subsidy to corporations that have doubled their profits and cut their taxes in half in ten years whilecutting 2.9 million jobs in the U.S. and adding almost as many jobs overseas.
This is more than an insult. It's a devastating attack on the livelihoods of tens of millions of American families. And Congress just lets it happen.[/quote]

1 ReplyI agree with about 50% of what is stated in the article. We should not be paying for land to not be farmed. The other 50 is either not a true cost or is something I believe they should be incentivized for. The government is taking in record amounts of money through taxes. What America truly needs is a simplified tax system, a flat 10% tax rate. No loopholes, no hiding money overseas etc. Make it simple and everyone contributes to the country, shrink the bloated budgets the government wastes and America can still have plenty of $.
