Equity

Equality means that the law and government treats everyone the same, irrespective of their status or identity. Equity means that, in some circumstances, people need to be treated differently in order to provide meaningful equality of opportunity.

I always found it funny to see people jealous of welfare recipients.  Like if it's the life you want, go for it, no one is stopping you.

I think you're mistaking contempt for jealousy. Nobody is jealous of welfare queens. We just don't like having to support them with our hard earned money while many of them could go out and work for a living but choose not to.

Are you aware of welfare reform during the 90s?

The truth is we should all be much more concerned about the elites who steal govt money to give to their friends and line their own pockets

In theory, SS is not a benefit program, it is a saving and investing program, albeit a very very poor performing one for the majority of people.   The money you pay into the SS are excluded from your income, so you never have paid taxes on.  Likewise, the matching money the company contributes you also do not pay taxes on.  So in theory, the money you get from SS is untaxed income and untaxed investment earnings.

But SS is not really taxed that heavily, and in many cases not at all.  It is perhaps one of the most convoluted tax calculations there is.

Ummmm....WRONG. What you pay onto SS is taxable income. You are taxed on it.

After my parents got divorced my mother was such a terrible piece of garbage, she only got one of her 2 kids and after 2 years, my dad had to go to court to take her other kid.

She had epilepsy and was prone to seizures, she couldn't work. She collected welfare and disability. She was a focking loser who ended up having another kid with some dude that was like 3 years older than me. I think he was 25 and I was 22, she was 45. 

I loathe people on welfare, including my piece of sh1t mother. 

My 1/2 brother that came from that needed 3 grand a few months back to get his teeth fixed, because his parents were focking losers. Who do you think paid for that? Me.

Part of living in a society. Yes, some people will take advantage. Some people cheat on taxes, some people steal from government programs, etc.

If this AI stuff plays out like they are saying and we aren’t prepared things might get a bit crazy.

well, gee, the oil sector also creates millions of jobs.  many of them pay very well. the oil sector also has the potential to help create energy independence for the US (if we stop electing democrats)  how many jobs does a welfare queen create?

you contribute nothing, as usual.

If you get your money via the government, by employment or hand out, you want the government to have more money. So those people will always vote for more money to the government. It’s not hard to figure out why the left wants more and more money.

liberal bot 0101010101001 beep boop personal attack

 

I mean what do i always say?  liberals on this forum do nothing but guilt trips and personal attacks.  you took a squat in this thread and did what?

1. tried a guilt trip on conservatives for supporting welfare to oil companies.
2. made a personal attack regarding nuclear war.

you contribute NOTHING.  we could just ban you and make a generic post saying "tim wishes to crap out a personal attack and guilt trip." and there would be no difference.

the most hilarious thing of all is that you are thinking in your crazy head that you are scoring layups.

99% probably. Many go in with good intentions but get trained on what they are going to say and how they are going to vote. That's the start of their corruption training. Then they either get disgusted and leave or get voted out if they do not adhere to the ways of these criminals. Stay long enough, you learn how to line your pockets.
