Since welfare is less than 1% of the federal budget, don't blame low-income mothers & their children for "sucking the taxpayer to death." Blame Enron, Goldman Sachs and the military industrial complex for that. It is such a typical knee-jerk reaction for conservatives like you and sammyanddrocko to scapegoat the poor. That's why the real problem continues unbated - our tax dollars going to support war mongers and corporate welfare kings, in lieu of famlies and communities.
I doubt you can truly say that. Mortgage tax deductions for the middle class are one of the biggest welfare programs in this country. But since I don't really know you, I can't say for sure. And since you don't really know any of the women who testified at our briefings, save your criticism. Every single one of the women who testified have worked hard and sacrificed, so you've totally missed the point. What happens when hard work and sacrifice aren't enough? Do we let our children starve?
@sammyandrocko A tax break for mortgages is another form of welfare - a big break on taxes due; I don't get a tax break for the rent I pay.
FYI I paid payroll taxes for years, as did my parents their entire lives. So my family paid plenty into a system so it was there when I needed it. I'm always puzzled by people who rant about welfare, when only 1 cent of every tax $ you pay goes to it, and then don't complain about corporations who get millions in handouts every year that they don't need.
