Higher taxes = more welfare money?



Is there a cause and affect?

No, higher taxes do not necessarily mean more welfare money. Welfare (cash aid to needy families) in most states have either not changed or have been cut in order to encourage more work participation. Increased taxes now a days are typically due to increased homeland security, highway/road repair, increased city expenditures due to Federal funding cuts, the cost of education (again, due to fed funding cuts), etc. Source(s): work experience
It would be cause and effect. Not affect.
Higher taxes would go to pay for things here, like education and environment, that the Republicans have been neglecting for the past 7 years.
There is a cause and effect relationship between the amount of money that the government spends on welfare payments and changing taxation. If there is a substantial increase in welfare taxes then higher taxes would be needed for the welfare payments. The reverse is also true.
yeah it would be... but you know.. it isn't so..
Directly, no. Indirectly, if there is more revenue to spend, the politicians will spend it all, and more, on something, typically including welfare, then say we need to raise taxes next year.

Also, raising taxes tends to slow economic growth, ultimately hurting tax revenues, but the Dems are too stupid to understand this time tested concept.
Not there.

You seem to think that there are massive numbers of people collecting welfare. That's not been the case since the Clinton era. Therefore your equation is wrong as well.
