Who Pays Almost All Federal Income Tax?

Really so a female that has five kids (by different fathers) can receive welfare in my province for 18 years and pay no taxes but it's okay for me to support a whore who got pregnant mulitiple times so she wouldn't have to work and that's fair? I don't think so. I have no issue with social safty nets but this policy of three generation of welfare rats is beginning to make me really angry. I work hard and contribute taxes, she has sex with multiple partners and she's rewarded with a three monthly checks. Welfare, babybonus and a HST refund. Total income $2300 a month. A working stiff who makes ten dollars an hour doesn't make as much as she does and he pays taxes.

No wonder I hate the socialist movement.

It's hard to really see what you're saying here, but it's pretty typical conservative bull****. Are there people out there that abuse the welfare system? Of course. Are there rich people/large corporations out there that abuse loopholes in the tax system? Of course. But let's not speak of those. Oh, no. It's so comforting to think of all those people getting rich off of welfare. Why, just last week, my cousin bought a new yacht and mansion in the carribean off of all the money she stole from the taxpayers via the welfare system!

I think the arguement comes down to, the harder one works the more he gets whacked on payday, where as those who milk the system of those hard earned tax dollars you just paid to the government, sit around and do jack squat. there is no sense defending the wealthy, they take care of themselves, that is why they are wealthy. It's the middle class family that feels the most indignant. It's simple human nature, you cannot expect some to work hard and barely get by, while others do better by doing nothing. It generates envy and anger.
The welfare system creates a learned sense of hopelessness in an entire segment of the population. They actually begin to believe that they are entitled to a free ride because the system tells them so. It's a socio-economic problem that will only snowball as the population grows.
My fore fathers who came to this country in the late 1800's and early 1900's had no safety net. They knew it was up to themselves to provide a living. They worked hard just like every other poor immigrant who came over in waves. They just wanted an oppurtunity to work. Today's poor that abuse the system don't want to work. They just want the hand outs that they are "entitled" too. I say anyone on welfare must work in a public works program to earn their money. Building roads , Bridges, litter pick-up etc.... Let's see if they go out and get a job then.

Yes, but they must also as ZoZo said on another thread: "be taught to fish".
