"For pity's sake, folks. Two-fifths (40%!!) of my earned wages already goes to support welfare, in-state tuition and free medical aid to illegal aliens, foreign aid to nations that support terrorists who want to destroy me and mine, and a host of domestic social programs that won't even exist when I retire...If the bleeding hearts are trying to poison the well of compassion and charity, then they are doing a bang-up job of making it happen."
I agree completely. My charitable giving has dropped off substantially over the years due to just this type of "forced charity" from my paycheck and the guilt pandering on top of all I give already. Ridiculous!
I used to say that all the time. I already donate through my government, don't need to donate any more.
