re: #77 prairiefire

My 2 cents. As a liberal I do think it is in my own best interest to pay taxes that go to social services. I’m a believer in having an established social safety net. Society is better due to less crime and (eventually) more productive citizens.

As a conservative, i think that it is my responsibility to donate a significant portion of my income to charities and other organizations who provide social services. I believe that i and my fellow neighbors can provide a more effective and loving social safety net than the government (although I do not believe in a complete absence of a govt safety net), and at less cost.
