I understand your point Mike, but you also help pay for the military,
but do you get to fly a F117 Stealth Fighter? Most of our taxes are
redistributed to less productive folks in our society, yet what do you
receive from that? A warm fuzzy feeling that you help pay for a
teenager to have another child with yet a different father this time?
That you pay for the food stamps of a perfectly healthy young man who
finds it easier to sell drugs and collect welfare than to be a
productive member of society?
