Curious... since you believe in this so much... do you ever write checks to the government to help pay for society?

That's not what I want to know. I want to know if you volunteer more than the minimum to the government... Are you applying for a refund this year?

My guess is it's due to education. What's your thoughts?
Also - perhaps you should give more of your income to help these causes. The IRS gladly will accept it.

i haven't started my taxes this year yet
but i will pay what i owe
and we can jump to the end of this conversation and not waste the time. i am just going to pay what i owe. i could give more if i wanted to and i am not going to
now go ahead with your point

Yeah I figured... I always find it ironic that folks who want to raise taxes on others to "pay for a better society" don't tend to volunteer more of their own money first.

historically why would these groups be behind in education?

Slavery set blacks back... no question about it.
So how do we help solve for it? Dumping more money into the educational fund doesn't seem to be working.
Broken homes seems to be an issue too.

well that was fun
now, let's get back to the topic you don't care about
or the other thread where you made up your mind that the whole conversation is irrelevant cause of something i never responded to is where the conversation started
ah, **** it. i'm going to get lunch instead

You are so delirious on the other thread it's kind of sad. It is clear as day what my original comment was and yet you seem to try to be twisting it around. Move on already.
Enjoy your lunch!

Sturg, two questions and a suggestion. First question, where was your info sourced? Second question, what are you categorizing as entitlements? Suggestion: consider that many congressional districts in the rural South that are overwhelmingly white have high percentages of government assistance recipients, and ask yourself how that squares with your statement that Republicans win in the South without "the entitlement vote."

1. Link
2. I classify "entitlements" as anyone who's not paying income taxes or is receiving direct government benefits (other than social security & medicare)
For your suggestion: I didn't say that they are winning the state without the entitlement vote... I said that they can. I could be wrong. I don't have the data. But it's just an opinion. If you have the data to show this is not possible, I'm happy to read it

OK, the link to the actual poll from which the data is derived that is dead. I'm not necessarily disputing it, but I would like to know where it came from.
So, in the category of people who pay no income tax, you would include retired folks?
Trump in Maine right now. He loves to work the crowd. He's very good at it.

I totally read that in his voice.
Even with the protesters which by my count is 4 right now, as Don would say "I'm think I'm doing pretty well".
