@TransAm85 You have a lot of questions!
Are you truly serious? Of course!
Do you pay taxes? Of course!
Do you know where your tax money goes? I do, in fact, based on actual government figures, as opposed to the overheated rhetoric one may hear on talk radio or any of various partisan sources. BTW, I'm going to assume that you are in the US like I am (which I think is true based on what you say and how you say it).
Food stamps, government assistance, project housing, social security, and welfare ..
This is quite a mix of very different programs, funded in very different ways at different levels of government.
Social security is funded by working people for their own future benefit. It is not a handout. Indeed, the only reason it's perceived to be in financial trouble is that lawmakers have been dipping into those funds to serve other purposes.
Food stamps cost $76 billion in 2014 out of the $3.5 trillion the US government spent that year, a whopping 2%. The entire HUD budget was $33 billion. Housing and Human Services spent $78 billion, including Medicare and Medicaid. For comparison, the outlaw for the Department of Defense was $526.6 billion. So my conclusion is that the main place my tax money goes is to supporting the US military.
and who takes most of that? In my state and city .. the black people.
I don't know your state or city, but if what you say is true, it seems likely it's because you have a lot of black people in need. Nationally, whites receive more food stamps than any other racial group (over 40%) - not surprising, as whites are the largest racial group! I'm not aware of any category of assistance for which black people receive a majority of the benefits nationally.
They believe they deserve repercussion for being slaves, so they can lay back and relax and suck off the government.
This is a a broad generalization that is, at the very best, inaccurate. (I believe the word you wanted was "reparations," by the way; they're already living with the repercussions of slavery). There are, of course, some people of all races who might not want to work and are content to subsist on whatever aid they can receive, but in my experience most people of all races want to be productive, do something meaningful, and more than merely subsist but do things like raise families, make a living working with dignity, etc. - just like you.
Yet people want to talk crap about immigrants!
I'm confused by this change of subject. Immigrants want to do all the things I just described as typical aspirations for people of all races.
My husband is Mexican/Italian, half my in laws don't speak English, but they work their butts off!
Good for them! I see no conflict whatsoever in saluting their hard work and aspirations and acknowledging that racism exists and is a genuine problem. And when I think of the voices that disparage immigrants, they tend to emanate mainly from white mouths, in my experience. So I'm not sure why you seem to be pitching this a black people vs immigrants conflict.
Black lives matter? Yes. But get a job!
Again, I'm not sure I follow. It sounds a bit like you're suggesting the lives of the unemployed matter less, somehow? As if police misconduct is OK provided the victim has no job? I guess I don't see the relevance of "get a job" here.
Moreover... you're also suggesting that there are jobs to be had for anyone who simply asks. Jobs that let you make a good living. Opportunity is not equal for everyone in this country, and never has been. Indeed, I think that's a huge part of the problem we're talking about in this whole thread! You could probably find individuals who are exceptions, but for the most part if you were to ask the people you are chiding for not having jobs if they would like one, the most common answer, by far, regardless of race, would be, "Yes, please!"
Don't take my tax money!
My brother-in-law (who pays far more in taxes than I ever will) is fond of saying that taxes are the price he (happily) pays for living in a civilized society. Personally, I'm far more offended by my tax money going to bail out Wall Street bankers (who reaped all the rewards of their irresponsible gambling but dumped all the risk on us) than to help out someone who cannot work, is between jobes, etc. But I suppose you may just have different values.
