[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was on welfare after I left my former husband, and had two kids under three. An extra $750 a month would have been life changing. Happy to report that like most welfare recipients, I was off the doles after a couple of years. I am all for this.[/quote] Great! You pay for it. Send your check to FFX county.[/quote] That’s not how taxes work. Taxpayers don’t get a line item veto. There are plenty of things I’d rather not spend public dollars on, but I still gladly pay my taxes because that’s how government works. Chalk it up as a cost of living in civil society.[/quote] +1 [b]Do people get this up in arms about the billions of dollars of taxpayer money [/b]that go toward corporate subsidies? And the fact that major corporations take pains to avoid paying taxes?[/quote] Yes. Yes I do. I also think this is a waste of funds on something that is unscalable, transient, and polarizing.[/quote]
