    Which means you are an anarchist, since you seem to think you   
    shouldn't have to pay anything to the government.   
      
    When your president took this country into a war for oil and   
    votes he spent my money to cause the deaths of an estimated   
    100,000 innocent people directly, and an unknown but ever   
    larger number indirectly. You didn't seem to have a problem with   
    that, so I'll do my best not to worry about how you feel about   
    your money going to support the poor and the helpless and esp   
    the infants who are without medical care and adequate nutrition   
    without the government policies.   
      
    Yes, I claim the right to demand the government provide for the   
    poor and the helpless, under the basic social contract. You can   
    always move to somewhere like Saudi Arabia where the rich get it   
    all, or even more so Bangladesh where life is cheap.
