Of course, by naming specific
gov't programs and pretending that this is the only
'benefit' that the gov't offers, you can pretend it's true.

Fine. Name some entitlement programs that cut checks to the wealthy.


Is a gov't benefit *solely* a matter of handing out money?



How many millionaires receive medicaid, welfare, etc?

So, by your own theory, getting medicaid & welfare is
"better" than the life of a millionaire?


No. Why are you changing the subject?

I'm not changing the subject at all, which was benefits
versus pay-in.




.... You claimed that the poor are
"subsidizing" the rich.

If they are paying more in taxes than they are gaining in
benefit, then that is exactly what is happening.



.... The poor receive government checks
financed by the rich.

Of course, in reality, only a small percent do so; and (also
"of course") these checks are financed by *all* taxpayers
not just 'the rich.'

Meanwhile, the rich receive the lion's share of luxury
consumer goods, medical care, desirable real estate, etc etc
etc.

Reality isn't your strong point, is it Fred? Better call
some more names.
