    I guess that I just do not see the overwhelming posts about the entitlement of the corporations and wealthy with such venomous language as I do the poor welfare recipients.

    Do you get a home mortgage deduction? Heres your sign

    Own your own business? Heres your sign

    So your saying a deduction is a entitlement? That's stretching it a bit.

    Sure it is an entitlement, you are entitled to the deduction, thus it is an entitlement.

    So a thief (government) robs me (tax), then decides to return a small percentage (deduction), and that is an "entitlement" equivalent by definition to the handout these parasites are accepting?

    How do you figure "taxes" are robbing you? Do you drive on the street, do you have public safety, safe food and drugs? Shall I go on??

    Are there people who take advantage of the situation, of course.
    But there are people that take advantage at every level. The government should focus on the fraudulent claims, continue with strives to get people off public assistance.

    What a noble idea. Spend the money the correct way and break the chain of generation after generation public assistance. Train them and make them a PRODUCTIVE member of society and our tax base will increase. It's a win win for everyone.

    Mortgage deductions encourage home ownership. People who are buying their homes, have a financial interest in taking care of them. Unlike people renting Section 8 properties that invariably turn into roach hotels and rat traps and blight what would otherwise be nice neighborhoods.

    I have an idea, use the savings from closing the corporate welfare loopholes and spend it on helping people out of poverty.

    Epic failure, on every level, on the part of the State. And disturbing.

    It is still an entitlement.

    I lived in a Section 8 housing while I was in school/working, and it was a very nice, well kept place, racial mixed apartment complex. And when I started to make more than subsistence wages I moved on.

    You presume that ONLY the government can provide these "services" or that I consume the "service". The money is extracted from me under threat of force or imprisonment. If that is not theft, well I suppose we could call it "redistribution" if that aids in your understanding.

    In this case , the government siphons money from the productive with zero direct benefit, only some vague perceived benefit that socialists promote.

    I know we do have a long way to still go with the ending of discrimination of women and color, but we are moving in the right direction
    Parliamentary democracy.

    One will not be ending such discrimination by means of affirmative sexism and affirmative racism. Of course, such is not the issue herein. The issue is the gutterfilth of the poor voting to themselves the funds of others and contributing nothing besides the creation of problems for their betters.

    There is no direct benefit for the fiscally productive that are subjected to 'legitimate' fiscal rape by the human pe(s)ts and their enablers.
