In the US, taxes do not fund federal spending.

We need social programs, without them the 1% would have slaves instead of employees.

If a person is forced to give up some or all of their labor to satisfy the whims of another person, isn't THAT a characteristic of slavery already?


I would agree it's a good thing to help people, but not a good thing to compel "charity" . It ceases to be charity then.

It isn't charity.

It is a social program to help people.

Single mothers and low income families benefit greatly from food assistance.

There are plenty of people that abuse the system.

I'm all in favor of helping people. How does taking from one party to give to another help them?

I saw a well dressed guy the other day with a lot of money, should I have jumped him and given his money to some poor people I know?

Did anyone here suggest you mugging a presumably wealthy man on the street and giving the loot to some 'poor people you know' is a viable solution to income inequality? If yes, citation please.

Why does "income inequality" need solving again ?

On the one hand, you don't agree there is any income disparity between the wealthy and the poor, then you flip and advocate for your right to mug someone in order to redistribute that wealth to some 'poor people you know'. Your argument is internal and your beliefs are inconsistent.

Where did I say there was no income disparity ? I asked why income inequality needed a solution ?

Are you letting your "prove Rob Roy wrong celebration boner" fuck you internally ?

I made assumptions I believe to be true, therefore my argument is valid.

I'm not celebrating anything. You established these rules.

" If your prove Rob Roy wrong boner lasts for over 4 hours you may wish to consult your Doctor "


I see now that you wish to converse in the key of absurd. Very well then.

You agree that I have proved your wrong and you admit your straw man, then you flip and say I want to converse in the key of absurd by making another straw man. Your argument is internal and your beliefs are inconsistent.

Before you ask, I have made some assumptions. No amendments to your rules as far as I'm aware, so it's still fair game.

I am impressed with the duration of your boner, not the size mind you, the duration.

How does spending billions on bombs play into all of this?

There is more money wasted on the military industrial complex than any other.

I am not a fan of the military industrial complex or the USA's empire featuring foreign and domestic interventionism.

So, we may have some common ground there.

Funny how right-wing shitstains have derailed the thread because they lack valid arguments to respond to the theme...
You're whining like you believe in private property rights now, interesting.

Actually I agreed with what was said about the debt doesn't matter, in the sense it isn't ever going to be paid off etc. It does matter if you consider how it was created though.
