I have no problem with the concept of subsidizing those needier than I (although that is hard to swallow at the end of the tougher months
). I do however have a problem sponsoring entitlements to a large number of people whom in my view, should not be "entitled" to government handouts, and also seeing $billions go down the tubes on porkbarrel spending and bureaucratic waste on the part of our beloved government.
We need to stick to the basics: education, financial security, and national defense. Roads and public facilities should be funded via use taxes: you use, you pay. You don't pay, you don't use. Period.
Basically, I feel like I am being robbed every payday, and I'm not complaining about my gross salary...
