More hilarious emails from ignorant hicks

Washington DC

Description

Just got an email for one ignorant hick who believes that "82.6% of taxpayer receipts are paid towards social security and welfare"! REALLY????? Only 17.4% of all taxpayer money covers the military, the entire federal government, all agriculture programs, all education department programs, and on and on and on??? Also, by lumping Social Security (which is a 23% of the federal budget and primarily goes to old, white people) in with welfare (which is only a small part of the less than 8% of the safety net programs in the federal budget and racists think goes only to black people), conservatives are trying to artificially inflate the number people will think goes only to welfare. Might fool a 7th grader. https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-budget/where-do-our-federal-tax-dollars-go Then the rural hick goes on to defend socialism for farmers claiming "people would starve" if the government didn't spend over 9% of the federal budget on free money for farmers, often paying them to NOT grow anything. Guess he doesn't trust capitalism and free enterprise to set market prices and wants a socialistic government to control pricing.
