It's not a Ponzi scheme because the money gets invested in our growth, generating surplus revenues to prop up Social Security. It's a windfall severely mismanaged and used for other purposes at will of the congressman and president who want us to think it's this insignificant amount of money that can never be enough. It isn't enough because they keep using it for other things! It's a win/win situation if we can keep those greedy Republicans from putting it all into Afghanistan, Iraq and now, Libya, looks like, and who knows where else? They already put a lot of it into South Korea and Vietnam, not to mention Japan and the Marshal Plan in Europe. Now, they need somewhere else to spend it since they don't want to use it for what it was intended for. It should be for old folks, only.

A lot of it goes on defense and military and don't believe this crap about defense spending is the tiny sliver of pie in the overall spending chart. The fact is, it's a huge amount of the budget. Nobody is honest about exactly how much it is because support from constituents will fail if people knew how much it really is.
You don't invade two countries and prop them up with a tiny sliver of pie. You don't keep numerous bases throughout the world open, and spend that much on weapons and personnel on it, either.
I'm sure it's Conservatives fault too. Somehow.

Yes. You must pay taxes. That is paying dues for living in such a developed country. It's not just from your neighbor, it's from all Americans, including yourself. We pay taxes in this country. Why is that so difficult for people to understand?
What matters more than being taxed is what the government spends the taxes on.
Right now the government is pillaging our social security tax for crap that's got nothing to do with social security and that should stop.
People seem willing to ask the government to take money by force from their neighbor and give it to whomever.

Conservatives like poor conditions. They see it as progress. It is not. They refuse to find innovative ways out of situations. All they want to do is take away from others because they are so cheap. They don't want to compromise, only want to spend taxes on what they feel is important and it rarely improves situations at home. They have huge pickemup trucks so they don't notice when the pot hole in the road is two meters deep but the person in the economy class car sure does! They don't care though. They would rather have their tax dollars go overseas than to fix that homegrown pot hole in the road.

We give our taxes to defense spending and corporate welfare which we may not agree with. Everybody has stuff they don't want their taxes spent on, that's the point. So what. Not much you can do about it.
I would rather see my tax dollars go to poor people in this country than these feckless third world dictators, foreign countries who hate us and military invasions that cause more anger toward America. But, that's not going to stop the right wing from giving the tax money to the world's Hosni Mubaraks, is it?
It's a trade off. If you are going to do that, then you should honor the tax payers who want their money to go to domestic issues like health care and poverty as well, not to mention infrastructure and subsidized gasoline.
Now there's an idea. Stop invading Libya and spend some money so we don't have to pay so much for a gallon of gas.
But why should other taxpayers who are not as rich as you be mandated to give their tax money to these feckless and indolent parents who can't raise their kids without help? Why perpetuate a culture of feckless and indolent people having kids who will only burden most non-rich taxpayers?

I'm just saying...that is why government started public education and made it possible for all kids to attend. People who can't read cannot decide which private school is best for their kids so the government built the school, hired a teacher and sent the kids to it. One thing that would be nice is having a choice among public schools. Charter schools are helping to fill that gap but there needs to be more of them. Charters are a good idea in places where schools are generally bad. Why not close all the public schools in that area, replacing them with charters?
Not all school districts perform badly so you wouldn't have to do anything with the ones who are doing great.

It's better to leave it to the states and local government. They need to be responsible for it. Make the school system responsible for the quality of education in their district. If they aren't doing well, start firing teachers, principals, administrators. With so many bad teachers in need of jobs, they will have a problem finding new ones. Another problem is they will just sit around drawing unemployment. Soon, you could have a teacher shortage, too. Now as it was before, it's up to the parents to educate their kids. Reality is, if the parents are well educated, the kids usually are, too. Parents have got to do most of the educating at home, even when their kids go to school eight hours a day or the kid doesn't learn anything.

If you got the money to pay private school tuition, go ahead. The government paying for each child in America to attend an expensive private school is pure socialistic doctrine. If you think the country isn't bankrupt now...wait until we get the bill for that. Sheesh.
And this idea that excellent performing teachers should get three figure salaries for good work? Who is going to pay for their salaries if they all decide to get it together and outperform one another? How is that sustainable? You realize how much money would be needed to support all these teachers who decide to get it together and earn the high dollar salary?
The solutions are not easy. Best idea is to fire the bad teachers instead of paying excellent teachers more. People will get it together and do a good job if they know they will lose their job and can't find another one.
No, it's not. It's for parent to decide what kind of education I like for my kid, not the state.

The point is, why should anyone get a tax credit just for having a kid? I can understand the mentality of helping struggling people who have kids to take care of, but if you can afford kids, why do you need a tax credit?
Besides, you don't know what they will spend the tax credit on. It could be anything from drugs to beer. It doesn't mean the tax credit is going to help support a stable family.
Not the same thing. Not at all. Tax credits to help and promote stable families is much different than handing out cash and supporting folks who have no business having kids they can't afford.
