Where is our money going?
Taxpayers have the right to know that the money given to welfare recipients is going toward life’s necessities, and not illegal drugs. Wage earners in the United States are assessed up to thirty-five percent of their income by the federal government. Taxes that are collected go to help fund welfare programs *. The money given to welfare recipients is intended for the use of the child’s support program, child care, energy or utility assistance, food assistance, medical assistance, and vocational rehabilitation services *Welfare Programs.
