On behalf of my neighbors, thank you for your taxes

[palmettomoon]

Obviously it is where are your tax dollars going?

You have a lot to learn. Lobbyists and corporations pay for the summer homes of politicos, not income taxes.

Okay I've got something to say and because of my situation I have the right to say it. You people have a right to judge me because I can't change what's in your mind, so, sit down Shut Up and Hold on it's going to be a bumpy ride. I'm currently in the process of applying for disability, those of you who don't know about this it's a long process takes approximately a year-and-a-half. That's a year-and-a-half of no paycheck zero. I'm where I'm at because of 47 years I'm driving heavy equipment my knees back hips shoulders and elbows all have extreme arthritis. Most of the things that you take for granted to me are painful. I still work at home I'm basically a house husband and I do the best I can to do something for my family. I'm not lazy and it bugs the heck out of me that I can't get out and do that I had to give up my job 3 years from retirement. I did have the sense to put into a long term disability insurance which will kick in in 6 months. So now my wife is the breadwinner until that time. The things I found out when I started to apply for disability insurance were that any money that I receive from Social Security I have to give to the insurance company my total income can't go over a certain amount and because I was responsible adult and saved money and invested in the stock market and if paid for my house that I can't get as much money as people who spend all their money on Escalades and all the other trappings of life that are frivolous. It just irritates me that because I was Thrifty because I was responsible that I can receive $2,400 less per month than people who spend everything they had as soon as I touched it. We are in eligible for food stamps and I'm not on Medicaid so I'll have to pay 3 to $400 a month for insurance for myself and my wife and pay for all our prescriptions out of pocket. We're going to make it just because that's what we do but I've got an extended family relative who has four children and none of them have the same last name and they get $900 a month in EBT free medical and everything else that's free on the board. I've seen these people you talk about they have a grocery cart full of meat and then end up paying for their beer with cash and it usually comes from a great big wad. sadly it's the America we built I guess it's that thing about a puppy and a dog. You know what I mean don't get a puppy because eventually it will turn into a dog. just wanted to let you know that some people abused them. Just saying

9 years i tried to get disability i paid into. 9 years(and still counting) without a paycheck, without any EBT, No medicaid.

On private paid insurance from my savings, paying for prescriptions and doc visit copays, etc., out of my savings. Selling guns, selling knives and spending retirement, spending investments, etc., just to live while wife works her azz off for us.
The only thing i have going is we own our house and vehicles.
I know where you are at.

I’m aware of the lobby system, I wish the NRA would start buying more summer homes for the right people. We do however, pay the salary of EVERY government employee. The ones that lose my package at usps, kill my dog when I buy too many solvent traps, and yes, even those that attempt to take our guns. Are there better people laces the money could be going? Of course. Are there worse? Maybe not, but what’s the point of being salty about it. Not much we can do.

Cash, cc, debit card. Makes shopping easier without the freeloaders.

I think we all know that not everyone using government assistance is a freeloading worthless pos. It is sad that if you are a responsible person you end up with less.

At least Anarchy would be fair

Observing multiple generations of mooches living the same way off the taxpayers in Bibb County, and they were afforded the same opportunities as me? It changes your perspective.

They take EBT but not WIC.

Sir you are one of the ones who deserve to get disability and s.s.i. or whatever it is you need...you worked for it and earned it.. we all know and have seen the ones that abuse the system. Lie to the govt about this and that so they can get all the free stuff they can
