The problem inherent in every 'national sales tax', 'flat tax', VAT, or 'fair tax' is that they are EACH dependent on the 'honesty and faithfulness' of POLITICIANS to NOT arbitrarily increase the PERCENTAGE that's assessed for the tax. Sure it may START as a 17% 'flat tax', but after this first year of the current (ahem) 'administration', is anyone so gullible or braindead as to believe that figure wouldn't have been jacked up to collect even MORE of OUR money to be 'redistributed' to those Escalade drivers ... ?

It's all lies!!!! Hussein and congress told us they have morals, high standards and can be trusted.

Ya' know, I really should look into a career in either comedy or politics.:wink:

I am having difficulty finding a government site which verifies someone can receive 1500 per child in assistance,,,also verifying that undocumented immigrants are eligible for monetary or public assistance....

anyone have an actual POST with a link to verification,,not just a commentary or opinion?

It's around $235/mth. per child in Missouri.

But not for illegals.

Uh huh. Not for illegals. Right.

The anchor babies, of course, ARE covered since they are, technically, citizens.

Nice try. Illegal PARENTS still get the money for children BORN here.

So illegals do, indeed, collect welfare. No matter if THEY can provide documentation or not.


The money is going to feed and clothe the American citizen child. Nice try to you too.

If you don't like the fact that they are Americans when they are born here, do something to try to change it. Until then, those babies are Americans.


Understood. I don't dispute THAT part.

What I DO dispute is the repeated statement that Illegals do not get benefits when that is simply not true. Regardless of whether or not the benefits are collected on behalf of the child ( insert hand wringing and " WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN???? " here ) the FACT IS that the benefits are COLLECTED BY ILLEGALS. Therefore, the statement ( repeated ad nausea by you and others here ) " Illegals don't get benefits " is nothing less than inaccurate.

The Illegal parents do, indeed, receive the benefits.

Facts are facts no matter how much people would like them not to be.

So again, I say nice try.
