I suspect those numbers are on a per family basis.....the Gonzales family, for example, may use $2,700 more in services, but the Rodriguez, Morales, and Sanchez families contribute more than enough to pay for themselves and some of the families who don't pull their own weight. In other words, there are clearly cases where some are a "burden" but the revenues generated by others off-set the "costs" of those that aren't pulling their weight. Overall, there is a considerable net gain, in terms of revenue versus costs.
I'll have to dig for it though....  |
How is there a net gain?
How can you possibly say we do better getting 75% of the taxes owed instead of 100%
Keep in mind, we're talking about low income families that don't pay their own way even if they are paying 100%.
