Cool.
Please explain why the government should take a dollar away from a person who worked hard for it and then give it to someone else?
In the original post a complaint was made about government cutting social programs, I understand taxation for something like national defense, police, fire, etc. But I don't understand taking from one man to give to another, why not let me choose who I want to help?
P.s. Really the government takes a dollar and gives more like fifty cents, the rest is waste. It is sad, and thats why I hate paying taxes.
