Taylor Swift’s father deleted his personal Facebook account after the singer’s fans complained conservative-leaning memes were posted on his page. (snip)
“The IRS has returned my tax return to me this year after I apparently answered one of the questions incorrectly… In response to the question, ‘Do you have anyone dependent on you?’ I wrote: ‘9.5 million illegal immigrants, 1.1 million crack heads, 3.4 million unemployable scroungers, 80,000 criminals in over 85 prisons plus 650 idiots in Washington’.

This represents a point of view shared by many. There is much truth to it, in varying degrees. Our taxes do support social programs and the people who directly benefit from them. These are areas over which we have little or no control, which can be annoying (like at tax time).
Much of my income is derived from similar benefits, such as PERS and SS. My health insurance coverage is primarily Medicare. All of which I paid into over a lifetime employment. Some of the folks who survive off this socialized system, paid little or nothing into it. Some portion of my contributions over the years and my current tax burden help fund these folks lifestyles, some of which I highly disapprove.
If anyone has a sensible and workable solution to this situation, they should champion it. Maybe the status quo doesn't need to be what it is.
You don't have to be liberal to understand that there is value to some degree of a socialized system. If you see nothing good about it, you should move to a third world country where such programs are non-existent.
