Are people really this blind to the government's grift? They're the ones creating the problems, and people think those with a lot of resources should sacrifice themselves to fund an entity that has a track record of failing over and over, not to mention creating so many wars. This is absolute insanity. I can only excuse the bottom tier of society for believing this, as they are the primary targets because of their situation, not to mention their lack of education. Everyone else should be smart enough to understand that more taxes will mean more wars, instead of solving the homeless crisis.
