I also understand trashleg's situation, however as stated. Until you pay taxes you won't realize how much money you don't get. I lose a large chunk of my tax money and it went toward $ for clunkers. Possibly the worst program ever. I got $0 back and the $ for clunkers program ran out of money in a week (or something ridiculously short like that). Even if I wanted to get my own tax money back I couldn't have with that program.
The 8k I'm going to get back from buying a house isn't coming out of my tax dollars, I can guarantee you that much. I'm going to take it because it is there, but only to help pay off my house debt faster. I don't need the 8k, but putting that straight into my home loan will save me over 16k in the long run. However, I'd rather the government never offered this in the first place as it would be better for America in the long run rather than stealing money from others to help people who will waste the 8k on who knows what. Call me a hypocryte if you want, but I also like to look out for myself and my family.
My wife's cousins never worked a day in their life. They claim "they can't handle it" so they live off welfare and buy all sorts of stuff my poor sister in-law would love to have but her parents can't afford it. My sister-in-law would love a DS, but she's never got one, yet her cousins bought a Wii and DS and actually have the nerve to ask me which games I got with my own hard earned money.
Until you've seen your tax dollars wasted, you probably won't understand how someone like Mrstickball or myself can be so against government spending. I'm all for helping out the poor and I even donate money on top of being taxed. I would rather my tax money go straight to a private charity that is more efficient then our wasteful bloated government.
