The real problem with tax dollars is where they are being spent. More money than ever is going towards "assistance" programs such as welfare, unemployment, etc..... Ebens point about creating jobs is good, but there are jobs out there for a lot of people. Unfortunately, they find it easier not to work and to stay at home having children who's food, diapers, etc... are being paid for by working stiffs. These children are then raised to think this way of life is "normal" and perpetuate the problem. Welfare, unemployment, food stamps, etc... were all created with the best intentions. To help people get back on their feet. But, there are people who use it as a way of life and are draining tax dollars in the process. I'd like to see new programs put in place to force people to develop job readiness skill and get back to work to support themselves. If they can get people (who are able to work) off government assistance, the money could be spent in other areas. They can raise or lower tax rates all they want, but where the money is spent is what matters most.
