text: You're misinformed about how much of your tax dollars go to welfare programs. Far more goes to military spending. Also, you would be paying less in taxes if multi-billion-dollar corporations were not allowed to dodge taxes by moving their headquarters overseas and by making use of loopholes that aren't available to middle-class folks. I don't believe that most people who get government benefits do so because they "do not feel the need to work". Sure, there are some who abuse the system; but most use the benefits for a limited time, and need it. You can keep on bleating the right-wing shibboleths of "takers", "free stuff", and "handouts", but it's not actually a valid argument against fiscal reform.
  
  You can't argue with logic - but so far, you haven't demonstrated any.
