I would have to say I'm a bit resentful of the taxes I have to pay at times. Well, they aren't really taking much from me anymore, now that I quit a high paying computer job:/. Actually Id probably qualify for a good deal of government programs ATM.
I really woulndt mind it so much if I were confident that government were really effective in helping these people and efficient with the money it is given. But.. the government doesnt really have a good track record with that sort of thing. I mean really.. the government has proven itself damn near incompetent with the way it handles money.
Also, what is considered "rich" to our government is getting lower and lower on the income food chain, so they can justify higher taxes on lower incomes. So when you hear poloticians arguing with one another over giving tax breaks to the rich, often the middle and upper-middle class people are part of that group, mislabeled as "rich".
Id rather like to keep most of what uncle same takes from me and then choose where it goes and who it goes to help.
