My father got a government grant to buy his first piece of heavy equipment...I'm glad everyone else on this site has never needed financial help, but some of you could be a bit more compasssionate.

Where did the money come from to supply your father with the government grant?

[abclily]

The money came from working taxpayers like myself and my nine siblings. I know where tax money comes from, since I pay enough of it myself. However, I'd rather see some of it spent on my fellow-citizens to improve their lives, instead of giving it to foreign governments to try to buy their allegiance.
