Let us begin with the notion that those bottom 50% are taking advantage.  Really?  You think that everyone down there in that 50% bracket is skimming?  Do you even know who is in that bracket?

For some fun read this article:

It’s a little dated and directed at Rush, another goober who regurgitates these numbers, and shows you what they really mean.  Who is in each of those brackets and what they really mean. 

BTW – that bottom 50% includes the kid who delivers your paper, college students, grandma’s retirement funds, yep, all those people down there ripping the rich off.  Tisk Tisk.

You may or may not be right with regards to your views on a woman receiving state aide and regarding drug testing to receive welfare payments. Regardless of the validity of your points, they are irrelevant to the facts in this article, and they do not support your initial contention that this is “a load of shit.”

If you believe someone making 40K is getting screwed by the welfare payments, you might also consider whether the same person is also getting screwed by Republicans who give the bulk of the tax breaks to multimillionaires as opposed to the middle class.

I’m one of the people that Republicans try to scare with these false claims that our taxes will be over 50% under Obama. These scare tactics fall in the same league as the claims from Republicans that Democrats are going to take away everyone’s guns and bibles.
