So I decided to refuse to take any help from the Gov't while searching for a new job; this is based on my personal principles and values. Out of curiosity (and having never been in a position to apply for Government aid), I applied, and the State agreed to pay me 1/6 the max weekly stipend, or roughly $40, per week, as long as I could prove I was searching for gainful employment, etc. etc. Despite my legitimate reasoning for leaving my position, they, somehow via a few web pages, determined, in a matter of minutes, I was ineligible.
Interesting.
Interesting.
I worked and paid into unemployment for 31 months. So much for accessing my money when I need it. Guess those duckets go down the block.
Anyway.
The following numbers are assumptions, are not supported by any material or documented fact, and are products are very rough calculations.
The following numbers are assumptions, are not supported by any material or documented fact, and are products are very rough calculations.
Assumption #1: 31 months of state income tax and sales tax produced by me: $12,000, or approximately $4,645 per 12 months (conservative)
Assumption #2: cost per capita for public services funded by state: $2,000 per 12 months (conservative)
Annual gross margin experienced by state in exchange for letting me, single, no dependents, live in Alabama: $2,645
So the state, arguably, pockets $2,645 in gross margin from taxing what I earn in income.
Now,
Now,
Assumption #3: a family of 4, 100% dependent on Gov't support, produces, let's say, on items purchased with cash (no food stamps etc.)
$1,000 per 12 months in sales tax (conservative, and I assume they pay sales tax on what they purchase with cash)
Referencing assumption #2, cost per capita for public services in $2,000 annually, so the cost to the state of the family of 4 is
$8,000
Now, taking into account the cost to support the family of 4
$4,000 / capita / annum
So the state, arguably, loses $23,000 per annum from supporting the family of 4
They have to offset this loss somehow, and they do so by applying my account surplus (revenue from taxing my income - costs from paying me unemployment, it being $0) to their deficit. Now, the problem is if you divide the $23,000 loss by 4, the state has to cover a $5,750 loss per head 100% reliant on them every year. I only cover 54% of that loss. To balance the books and avoid Californication, they pull from other account surpluses until all the losses are covered. The point is that it likely takes 2 people at 50% apiece to cover the cost to support 1 individual 100% supported by the Gov't, or 2 to 1. Or, raise taxes. Now, you incentivize these families of 4 to remain dependent and reproduce but drive the cost to reproduce for the income-producers up, eventually you have 3 to 1, then 4 to 1, and.. then... economic collapse, as the proportion of tax available for dependent capita is reduced to a level that cannot support living.. then...
A fucking revolution; hungry dependents, broke capitalists, and scarcity of resources...
We supply NON-VALUE ADD economic consumers with adequate aid, including an incentive to claim dependents... this proves that a Harvard JD doesn't mean you offer any fundamental economic psychology to a capitalistic nation... I don't care how you manipulate my numbers, the factor of taxpayers required to support Gov't dependents will only continue to rise, and with this comes an increase in taxes.
How else do you support a growing population of non-income producing consumers? You have to take more from the income producing consumers. Based on zero-sum fiscal mathematics, this is the only option.

IMPEACH. I'd vote Chunks from Goonies in before I'd even approach a ballot table recommending his candidacy. This fucking country is so blind, broke, and desperate for dependency, they can't even see their future taxed away.
Happy Tea Party... any liberals still uncertain? I'll buy you a $0.99 pocket calculator from Kroger and will pay for 3 - 6 hours of Economics at a major university. That's all you need.
(not really going to pay for shit...)
