Why can't they find a job and do it theirselves? I have myself to worry about, why should my money be going to them? Selfish? Maybe but it's the truth. A war is more constitutional for taxes than forced charity.

8 :
The fascists have taken over a long time ago and decided that they are going to take a certain percentage of your money, put it in a pot and pay some of it out to the poor people as those in the bureaucracy get to pocket 70% of it. It is sickening and they have successfully trashed our country. Congrats progressives!

For same reason that other less fortunate people are forced to place their lives on the line by invading other countries in order to enrich big business, Neocon. You are not the only one who pays taxes, I do to and so everyone else does.

So you will not be paying for the extra police force and prison cells if anarchy were more rampant as a result of less economic assistance for the poor
13 :
Once you pay your taxes it is no longer your money. We the people elect government officials whom we trust to spend the money in the best way for our country as a whole. Therefore how they spend their money is none of your business, if you don't like your politician vote them out.
14 :
It's easier for liberals in government to spend your money than their own.
15 :
Why should anyone's money go to pay for your roads, or your fire department, or the army the fights for you? It is because society and the economy run more efficiently when everyone has at least the bare necessities to survive. Every ethical and moral code, including Christianity, says we are obligated to help those in need.

Why do I have to pay for war and why do I have pay additional taxes to make up for the tax free status of political churches such as the Catholic church that influences politics

They're "disadvantaged" and victimized by you. You can't expect them to support themselves, can you?

I don't like the war in Iraq, but I am forced to pay with it with my tax money. Get real. We can never have a system in which you would only get to pay taxes to support the programs that are your personal favorites.
19 :
Because someday you may need it too.
20 :
Under the Constitution we aren't supposed to. But due to all the irresponsible liberals the Demxsses start social programs one after another every time their in office. Their motto: Keep Doing The Same Thing Until Something Different Happens. Nothing good ever happens; Bankruptcy after Bankruptcy. Funny how all these liberals good doers keep taking more of our money and giving it away. But take Pelosi, Gore, Rockefeller, Kennedy as examples. I wld think that because of their moral convictions that they wldn't mind living like the rest of us and giving their billions away to redistribute to the irresponsible; but they glue their pockets shut and won't even pay for the things their supposed to (charge the taxpayer).
21 :
If you have worked and provide your own means, you are considered a winner in life's lottery.
22 :
because MY taxes pay the services that YOU will or might get Did your parents make you pay for food shelter and clothing ever hear the word "society" or "community" Ever hear of the Radical socialist communist that said "Love thy Neighbor"? they crucified the fool. Got a good job? Somebody else made it possible.
23 :
It's the price we pay for the opportunity to live in this country. It's becoming excessive I agree. If you don't agree with hand outs, pay attention to you local and state leadership and get involved in politics. Talk to your friends about it.
24 :
Because liberals believe that you should be made to even if it is not your decision. When Joe the plumber asked Obama the question, Obama gave the answer as to who he was. He wanted to take what others had earned and give it to others, whether they deserved it or not. Why do you think they made Joe the subject, to cover up Obama's answer. This is the future of the US if the progressives are allowed to continue. With the speed at which they have grabbed power in the last 13 months, 9 months may be too late to save our country from their socialism.
25 :
That is the way society works... Leave the US if you don't like the system... Why am I forced to pay for your church property taxes? I have my own property taxes to pay, and don't understand why churches are excluded/ I help cover their part (and furthermore, I don't have kids, so why should I support public schools this way, huh? oh yea, I don't want more uneducated idiots who don't understand the system out there) EDIT--I see while you have a comeback for the "war" question (all be it a poor one), you don't dare address the question of why your church doesn't pay any property taxes/ the rest of us property owners are paying your way...Wouldn't want to give up that bit of "forced charity" now would you?
26 :
We pay for these people so that they don't kill us and rob us. If they do we die or have to put them in jail. Jail isn't free. It costs more to keep them in jail than it does to feed and doctor them. It's really an actuarial thing. Repubs never understood this. They just assume that progressives just want to force everyone to give to the poor. And that is what this health care bill is about. We already pay for the poor's doctor bills. It's more cost effective to pay for their health insurance instead.
27 :
Your share of taxes goes to paying for bombs we drop on third world country. They use mine to pay for food and healthcare. Read the fine print on the back of your 1040.
28 :
More of your tax money is invested in our military to protect the free world. The countries that are considered our allies, we spend so much more than anyone . Why should my tax money pay for police protection for Taiwan, South Korea, even Japan and Germany . We are footing the bill and our military are doing the work while the rest of the world invest in their people and economy
