Reply #28: It is NOT your money, it is not MY money, it is payment of our debt [View All]

think of taxes like paying your credit card. You put the building and maintenance of highways, fire departments, police, prosecutors, wars, courts, national parks, everyone you use, on the credit card. April 15th is when the bill comes due.

People who complain about taxes are deadbeats. They want something for nothing.

If they whine about "welfare" remind them that ALL the welfare programs together, including food stamps which really helps farmers as much as poor people, amounts to less than 2% of the federal budget.

Interest in the debt amounts to 20% of the federal budget. Pay off the debt you save more money than throwing a few thousand poor people onto the streets.

Oh yeah, and foreign aid is less than 2% as well.
