What does that $6 cover?
Asking for a breakdown, is that too tough for you?
That $6 covers all assistance to the poor that is not SNAP. That includes housing, heating, phones, school lunches, TANF, childcare, and any other assistance for the poor.
That is a lot of money! No wonder you are worried about that!
$6,000 a year in corporate welfare. Per family making $50,000 a year. That is 1000x more than all the money spent on school lunches, housing assistance, heating, childcare, TANF, etc. etc.

Ok fine, if you can’t give a breakdown, then just say so, but quit acting like $6 a person covers all of that

If no one is paying, then how is their schools funded, who is paying for the schools, teachers, pensions, etc?

“In 2012, the average American taxpayer making $50,000 per year paid just $36 towards the food stamps program...And when it comes to funding the rest of America's social safety net programs, the average American taxpayer making $50,000 a year pays just over six dollars a year...
But we are paying a lot for the billions of dollars the U.S. government gives to corporate America each year."
The average American family pays a staggeringLinks to an external site. $6,000 a year in subsidies to Republican-friendly big business... So where does some of that $6,000 that you and I are paying every year actually go?
For starters, $870 of it goes to direct subsidies and grants for corporations.
This includes money for subsidies to Big Oil companies that are polluting our skies and fueling climate change and global warming. Compare that to the $36 you and I pay for food stamps a year.
An additional $870 goes to corporate tax subsidies.
The Tax Foundation has found that the "special tax provisions" of corporations cost taxpayers over $100 billion per year, or roughly $870 per family."

It isn't that difficult to comprehend. I know Fox News and Republicans make you think it is much more. That is why they never give you the actual numbers though. Because a family making $50,000 a year pays $6 a year for housing, heating, phones, child care, school lunches and TANF.
Do you have any sources, or just, well, Republicans act like it is a lot more?

And yes, the money not being paid for property taxes is included in the amount for housing assistance. It really isn't a difficult concept to understand.

Originally posted by Dr.Cool View PostThat doesn't include the price for schools. That is because schools are paid for through local and property taxes, not federal money. This is why wealthy neighborhoods have better schools with up-to-date textbooks and things like tablets for every kid, where as in poorer neighborhoods, the schools are run-down, short on teachers, and don't have luxuries like tablets for every student. Because local taxes for them.

You make this claim of $6 and are dead set on that being the total cost, but you aren’t backing it up.
What’s the breakdown?
