Yeah money that's wasted on single mothers who get left by the dead beat dads and the money for disabled people who can't work. I have a better idea. How about we quit building missles to bomb a country thousands of miles away and take care of our own people.

Yeah, I'm sure it's all going to single mothers. No lazy bastards that don't want to work would ever take advantage of the system.

Have you ever tryed to get on welfare or know anyone who tried to get on it. Or the same with disability. I'm a pipeliner and I work with a lot of older guys out there.
One guy is Pud he's a 60 year old man with rheumatoid arthritis. He needs to be on disability. The man has to cut off his tshirt at the end of the night because he can't lift his arms over his head. My late father-in-law had heart problems and they told him he had to be out of work for two years to get disability. So, he had to work his ass off everyday of the week after he busted his ass most of his life. He died two months ago. His wife is left with a house with a half paid mortgage and a child to take care of and there's no help for her from the government. O except for the $180 a month for food. Try feeding a kid on $180 a month.

Money is always an issue, just get over it. It's not like you can really do anything about it anyways. The white race is becoming more of a minority, if you don't like it then leave. This country was formed so people from "3rd world countries" could actually make it and not be in such poverty as they are in their countries.

Actually I believe it was formed by the british/europian colonies for their expansion of "1st world countries".

Maybe if we took the money that we absolutely waste on welfare we could give everyone cheap or free healthcare. Would $5 trillion cover it?

My God. You need to shut up. You're either a heartless miser with no compassion at all or someone who is SERIOUSLY naive  about the reality of life for people without money and/or qualifications.

We have free healthcare and  social security and we manage to pay for it.

Does someone know offhand what the percentages are for tax brackets in the US? Do you have local taxes? How do they work?

here's something for federal taxes. State taxes vary from state to state. Then most places have a local sales tax which ranges from 5-10% I believe.
