10. I know that I am fortunate and believe in helping those less fortunate.

And, no, I don't speak the standard Republican line of "via private donations". If private donations worked so damn well in history, how did the gilded age get its name? There are some things that the govt has a responsibility to do and relying on a variable like private donations removes the safety net that must exist in a civilized society.

What I resent more is wasteful pork spending like the use of taxpayer money for NASCAR funding!!!! That really gets me angry. (I believe the latest Omnibus bill included it)
