Those of us who pay lots of tax and tuition don’t necessarily believe:
1. in school vouchers
2. That you should get even more social service dollars because you choose to pay tuition for your children
This is not a theocracy. I personally don’t believe that tax dollars should subsidize private education.
I am an elected town official. I have to wrestle with the budget to make sure PUBLIC institutions run smoothly with the available tax dollars. I am not in favor of those tax dollars being cut so you can collect more freebies from the government.
If you choose to live chutz l’aretz and want government providing, healthcare, housing assistance, utility subsidies, food purchasing assistance (BTW…Food Stamps is NOT the current program, it is called SNAP) then move to a Socialist country such as Sweden.
I WORK very hard for my money and I resent the constant hands out attitude expressed by those who make a choice to live on the dole instead of working full time, providing for your family and learning after work hours.
The social support network is supposed to be for temporary setbacks, not permanent subsidies for your lifestyle. Your mother only had to carry you for nine , the American taxpayers should not be forced to carry you for years.
BTW>>>>I am a Democrat and Social Liberal, BUT I am a FISCAL CONSERVATIVE.
