There are people who make a lot more money in this world that pay a whole lot more in taxes that you do and I bet many of them aren't happy about it. Are you thankful that they provide for you? Are you only willing to receive from others but not give? If you really don't want people to pay for other people we better change over to a flat tax that is much higher than you are paying now that way everyone pays equally.

this is quite the misnomer. I pay taxes, federal, state, and local. would I like to pay less? absolutely. Would I like to see others pay less? absolutely. If we reduced funding to the bare minimum absolute necessaries, you'd see alot happier people. Instead what we see are a large group of people who feel cheated because they don't have the amount of wealth that a few select do, therefore they feel that they can impose their will upon those that made more money. This is how politicians stay in power, blame the evil corporate empires, promise to make them pay their 'fair' share to take care of you, while underhandedly accepting money from, and creating programs for, those same companies while portraying it to you as a 'benefit' that will make your life easier.
