Lazy bums...all of them

 We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added. Ronald Reagan We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added. Ronald Reagan  Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained. Helen Keller Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained. Helen Keller

 Equality of opportunity NOT equality of condition. ◦ More restrictive- Only needy- not a fair share ◦ Alleviative NOT curative like Sweden etc. ◦ Slower to embrace- England 1908 US 1935

 % of elderly are in poverty  % of elderly are in poverty  BUT: SS and medicare help wealthy more than poor. Why? ◦ Wealthy live longer-use system longer ◦ Wealthy use system more successfully- (top 10% claim > 40% more benefits than poorest 10%)

 1. Progressive- the more you make the more you pay-

 2. Proportional- same % from all- sales tax MD= 6%  Regressive- the more you make the less you pay- SS tax…it’s capped.

 Who made and who paid? Who made and who paid?

 Public education? Student Aid in college?  Child tax deduction?  Free and reduced lunch?  Food stamps?  Unemployment insurance?  SSI?  Social security?  Medicare?  Medicaid?  Tax incentives?  Corporate tax breaks?  Subsidies?  $59 billion for individuals..$92 billion for corporations
