it's not that the rich aren't pay enough taxes to them. Instead it's poor people taking away from other poor people. After the repukes kick people off the SSDI and SSI programs they deem unworthy you can bet whoever remains on those programs will not receive one extra dime in benefits. There isn't widespread fraud in the SSDI or SSI programs. That's just a myth. Not that their isn't any fraud there was that thing in KY a few years back ,but generally the SSDI and SSI programs have low levels of fraud for large programs. My guess they'll probably try and reform the grid rules along the line of the if you can breathe you can work full time right wing hate the poor,the sick and the injured logic.
