Federal and state subsidies for social services have been GUTTED continually for decades. Your 'taxes' are buying Wall Street bailouts and Bombs.

Impoverished and working poor people are lucky to get emergency service coverage, if at all.

People are going without healthcare.

Stop spreading the this version of Reagan's Welfare Queens in Cadillacs.
