Wolverine, I have heard a figure around that 20%. I want to say 15% of welfare is abussed. Why do we seem to have this fixation on the urban minorities, while they are disproportionately represented on welfare, the majority is in white rural areas. But then again, I have heard all of this from a very liberal professor, so I hope someone will correct me if this isn't true.


No no no! I put that 20% as a hypothetical level where I would say we would need more reforms if that were, in fact, the case. I don't think it's anywhere near that level, particualarly since reforms were put in place during the last decade, I've suggested that it's nowhere near that high throughout this thread and I've been asking for someone to show me something that proves it's that high if it is actually true. The latter part of your post is absolutely true, it is not urban minorities that primarily use welfare programs.

There should be a middle class option added, since that's who often gets hit paying more taxes, not the rich. Cases in point in the U.S.: Repeal of the estate tax, tax cuts that overwhelmingly cut taxes for the highest tax bracket while leaving an ever-growing debt that must be paid off, proposed social security reform that would cut benefits for the wealthy & middle class and leaving a cap for taxing income at $90,000. The middle class winds up paying for more when taxes are cut for the wealthiest people.

Hmmm... well that is odd that you said that number, because my teacher said something in the area of 15% of cases. But then again, it was from a discussion a couple of weeks ago and I could have remembered that wrong.
