That's a good one.

BTW different "states" don't pay out different amounts. It's federal and purely based on how much you earned.

I.e. if you've earned all your money in California, and then go to retire in AZ, you don't get a smaller social security check because you're in AZ than you would if you stayed in CA.

However, that does mean that the average payout in California is likely to be higher than the average payout in Florida, because average incomes are higher. Which is exactly why California (and most of the other donor states) are donor states--their incomes are higher per capita so they pay more than their population's share of taxes.

OK. That's what I thought, but when I googled data, EVERY page was differences in state payouts. And it seemed a little random, so I figured it was a blind spot in my knowledge. Who am to argue with the power of SEO?

Good to have that clarified. 

I feel bad laughing at that as hard as I did.

Me too.

why does it always have to be, the poor and needy compared to corporations?  Or illegals vs veterans. or jobs vs lives

can't an issue simply stand on it's own and be debated or decided?

You're right, it doesn't have to be those extreme pitted against each other.  But the GOP sets them up as you can't like/help/assist both, you have to pick one - and not only that - the one you don't pick is the enemy.  What is good for them is bad for the one you like.

It's a BS either/or over and over, and the masses fall for it over and over.

Speaking of Joe...

Joe is building a massive wall...

Around his Delaware beach house...

Using $500,000 in taxpayer money...


Wall for me, but not for thee.

The proper purpose of walls, to keep people out of your house, not to keep them out of your country. Joe must have gone to wall school

Taking people in enmasse is not progress have someone proof read your responses .I'm pretty close with some teachers who can do that for you,shoot send me a PM 🤣.Stop acting like everyone crashing the gates is a victim,follow protocol when entering a sovereign nation

Again, you're inventing a point I did not make. 
If I didn't know any better, I'd think you weren't interested in having an actual conversation.

You've inserted an important word that changes my point.  I'm not going to bother with you, as you're a dishonest interlocutor.
