I love information. I agree with @itcogme67, the taxes are not the problem, it's how they are used. When I hear the slogan "Don't ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country", I shake my head. I ask myself, what is the government for and why are they collecting taxes if I can't depend on the government to help me when I am at my lowest? Many people believe social services are handouts, but we pay for it. Every social service that the government provides is a service we pay into. Why is it taboo to use the services we pay for when needed? Others will say that illegals who don't pay for it will use it. So what? So, you prefer to get rid of the few services the government provides with the money they collect from you because you are worried about others using it? Others will talk about scammers who don't work or the poor. First, our government is full of scammers (they are the first to rob you). Second, being poor is a fluctuating circumstance. You may not be working right now, but you were and will. Money will be collected (taxes) whether it goes to social services or the war machine. Illegals pay into the system no matter what (except that they don't always benefit from it). As I stated before, if you live here, you will pay taxes.
