American Tax Dollars
I know we have some pretty smart people on this forum and figured I could get some answers. I was trying to find this online but I could not figure out if I had the right numbers.
I was under the impression that we are handing out money to everyone nowadays and this person was disagreeing with me.
Does anyone know how much money we spend on poverty (welfare) and disability a year. I group disability in there because I would guess a large % of people game the system...

What ever the number reported you can safely multiply it by 4 or 5x That would be fine if the money was actually going to help the people but you know as well as me it's all going to the wrong places.
The average taxpayer in the United States paid $11,715 in federal income taxes in 2013. See where that money went.

We are practically handing out money in a literal generalization. It's just the causes we give it to are questionable among many people.
I believe unemployment should have stricter guidelines, but that's a topic for another day.

We are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on terrorists and they're using our own weapons against us. We have the worst politically spoken president of all time.

Doesn't matter the money isn't real. It's not backed by anything any more. Federal reserve owns you.
