I don't say get rid of all taxes, just most of them. We still need to pay for important things, like the FWOD and prisons.

If we weren't paying several hundred thousand dollars a year each for congressional offices on top of their salaries, we could afford more street building. We are now spending over half a million yearly for Hitlary's office alone. Congress should get a minimal salary and have to pay for office space and staff out of that. They would find out quickly how much money they waste.

I meant those who want real help, like a job or an education.

"Those who want a handout can panhandle on the streets."

< What streets? Wall Street? No taxes, no streets. >


That would not stop anyone who would rather put their hand out than to try getting a job. There are times when people may need financial help, but there is no excuse other than physical or mental impairment for staying on welfare for years.
