I always hated how this sort of crap was called "giving back." Exactly what did I take from "the community" that merits me "giving back?"

I certainly don't mind "giving to" people who I deem are worthy, but I am certainly not "giving back" anything.

What, you mean you aren't a 3rd generation welfare recipient who has to go back 50 years to find a married ancestor?

I know Obama supporters, and you sir, are no Obama supporter...

If you took anything, it was from your parents. And you don’t have to pay them back, since their reward is you living a happy life. Everything else you got from the market, which was already paid for, or from the state. Either you’ll repay the state in taxes, or they won’t deamnd anything back anyway.

Excellent point. How about starting the program with EVERYONE who took Food Stamps, Welfare, and Public Housing for a period of over 1 year. They could give back to the community for all that they’ve taken.

Indeed, being a taxpayer that is well planted into the 28% bracket, I'm wondering when the community is going to "give back" to me.

The people we "owe" and should give back to are our parents.

The state - we pay taxes for defense and roads. Apart from that, we owe the state nothing.
