RW facebook friend complains about lack of services

72. Yes, and it gets tiring

Just now, another one posted about "entitlements" being nothing more than handouts. I said that the same is true for corporate handouts. She told me this was different, because corporations pay taxes.

I said "You haven't been keeping up with the news. Some corporations not only pay zero taxes, they have a negative tax rate, meaning they get more from the gov than they pay.

But if you're going to use that line of argument, then remember that welfare and food stamp recipients also pay taxes. Many have jobs, and all pay sales tax. I'd say most of them pay more taxes than companies like GE do. Anything above $zero is more than GE."

There's no end to it, though. You get tired of arguing. I'm a former RWer myself, and I was turned around. My wife clings to her RW beliefs, but she's losing faith, and didn't vote for Romney. There's hope, I guess, but they really resist logic.

That Sandy Hook conspiracy video has them all in a lather again.
