Even after Hurricane Katrina I didn’t receive food stamps, even though that was the one time I really needed them. The people at the government office let me know, in no uncertain terms, that I was the guy who PAID for food stamps, not received them.

You mean they wouldn’t let you get them?
Seems to be the system in a perfect world would be give and take - people would pay in and take out as needed. However, it’s turned into just what you said - some people pay, some take - and the lines are rarely crossed.
