n 2012, the average American taxpayer making $50,000 per year paid just $36 towards the food stamps program and about $6 per year for the rest of the social safety net programs. Republicans say this is too much — cut it!

Corporate welfare, however, costs the average American family a staggering $6,000 a year in subsidies to Republican-friendly big business. The bottom-line is that American families are paying $6,000 or more per year to subsidize giant transnational corporations that are already making billions in profit. In the past decade alone, corporations have doubled their profits on our buck.

Red won’t know what you’re talking about. Kid will repost a tweet from Rasmussen. Bambu will post whatever his handlers think sounds Australian enough.

Thank you for posting this. These are numbers every American needs to know.

Here is my main takeaway from this:

All cases were the result of investigations conducted by the St. Lawrence County Social Services Fraud Unit, the District Attorney Fraud Investigator, and the St. Lawrence County District Attorney’s Office, with assistance from the St. Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department, the Ogdensburg Police Department, the Massena Police Department, the Gouverneur Police Department, and other agencies.

Sherriff Kevin Wells stated that he “is proud of the professionalism and participation of the Sheriff’s Department in carrying out this operation, which is critical to deterring abuse of the taxpayers and ensuring that these critical resources go to those in need.”

The DA noted that citizens may anonymously report incidents of fraud in St. Lawrence County.


Did you see the list of agencies used to recover one hundred grand?

Did you see how folks are encouraged to turn in their neighbors who for the most part appear to be supplementing their benefits to make ends meet?

This is America.

141,204,625 Americans paid income taxes in 2015[. Because of our progressive tax rate, the top 5% of taxpayers (the 7 million wealthiest Americans, those earning over $350,000 a year) cover 60% of the program’s cost. This means that SNAP cost the remaining 95% of taxpayers just $200 a year.

None of which actually contradicts what Barton posted, despite your claim that it is a "different take."

Republicans care less about what their priorities cost than Democrats, and the price tag on those priorities is much, much higher.  Corporations are paying the lowest taxes in 50 years despite record high profits.  Those corporate tax cuts from Trump's bill alone could end up costing $2 Trillion over the next ten years alone.  Who ends up paying for that eventually?  Every day joe taxpayer.

But Trump will likely get a record amount of donations from rich folk anxious to keep their "winning" going, and to the GOP that is what matters.
