While people take advantage of social welfare and our free education system, the VAST majority of our tax money goes towards the military. (60%) And alot of that spending is not neccesary.

Also each tax payer pays 3 times as much for CORPORATE welfare as opposed to SOCIAL welfare. So keep things in perspective, yes the left may ask for too much to fund healthcare and such, but giving money to those in need seems better then using money to to fund wars of choice, which result in many innocent people dieing, and also creates more enemies towards the US thus a perpetual war which keeps the alot of the corpocracy making money and in business.
