You know that's why I pay taxes. Not just to keep roads paved and police paid.
I expect our government to be able to assist citizens in times of an emergency! Fires, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornados..
You make it sound like they're stealing YOUR own money.
When you should be thankful we do get a bang for our tax buck!
