Punishment?..... Not sure taxes are considered punishment, we get a lot for our tax dollars, it does seem we pay a high price for what we get... I do believe our government waste a tremendous amount of money and it's not all on the welfare programs... Welfare is something like 12% of the budget and included in that is all the spending other than the "sorry butts who won't hit a lick" ... We don't yet have a way to dispose of the folks who are born with birth defects and other afflictions that prevent them from earning their living... Don't guess there is a way to gauge who the "sorry butts who won't hit a lick" or how much of that 12% they actually consume but I believe most folks who get assistance from these programs actually need it.... Just in case you are wondering, I also see the folks you are referring to as "sorry butts who won't hit a lick" and it gripes me also that we either can't or won't do something about it but that being the major cause of our budget nightmare simply isn't true.
