What's this?

Mine is an immigrant family, dumbass. Granted I was brought here legally,

and we didn't claim asylum, when there was a known over 90% chance we didn't actually qualify for that asylum.

Secondly, your usual baseless, childish attacks aside, it's basic math, dumbass. Revenues per person in are less than Govt spending per person for already far too many of our citizens and residents, and in too large of amounts, hence why we continue to run exorbitant deficits. Just how many farm, construction, restaurant, aquaculture, etc. employees do you think wouldn't also fall on the "net taker" side of that formula?
