Sorry hate to sound cold but I don't work my ass off so someone else who isn't working as hard as me can get more hand outs at my expense. I've likely donated more money than 90% of the people on this board to various charities over the years, but what you mention is charity and its a personal choice. The govt shouldn't rape the " better to do people" so the "not so well to do people" can have more things. That is a personal choice, if someone chooses to give great for them, it shouldn't be forced on SOME PEOPLE to do it. Or at the very least if it was force on people it should be forced on everyone equally. You expect the person making 250K to give up a couple thousands but you don't expect the person making 40K to give up $500 ??? why not ?
