I have no problem helping with taxes, even if I'm on unemployment. My concern is the way the money is spent on things that don't work. Look at the grades of our kids compared to school systems in the rest of the world. We have some of the worst ratings in the world in the US. I think if we dig into any of the areas this money is being spent we would all be shocked on what we're really getting for our money, no matter who's paying.
