Do you have enough?
Maybe this belongs in Tilted Politics, but I'd like to get the opinions of people who don't normally venture into that particular lion's den:
If you have enough money for food, and you have a roof over your head, and you have transportation and health care; if, in essence, you have all of your basic needs met, (why) does it bother you if some of your tax money goes to help meet the needs of others?
Why does it seem to bother people less to give money to people who don't need it (e.g., through tax breaks to the wealthy, corporate welfare) than giving food and resources to people who haven't earned them? The first seems to me to be the greater outrage.
Why do people seem to resent anybody getting something for free?
