Charles, I think you're oversimplifying. I'm certainly willing to pay taxes in order to keep people going, and by doing so, to maintain civil order on which my life and livlihood depend. I have a bigger problem with paying higher taxes in order to support the lifestyles or business needs of people who claim to be in dire straits. IOW, I don't want to support family farmers -- if their business model doesn't work anymore, they should go out of business. I don't want to support people who "can't make ends meet" because they believe in a god-given right to live in the place they were born, no matter how impractical that is financially. I don't want to pay to support benefits to the State of Alaska so that they can re-distribute the money to their citizens every year. You get the idea... mg
