a) I doubt you actually pay anything close to that.  I know I don't.
   When I add up all of my taxes, it come out around 30%.  That's
   federal, state, social security, medicare, property.

b) A huge chunk of what you _do_ pay goes, in the end, for raining
   misery down on other people, _not_ for rewarding lazy poor people.

c) I'd _gladly_ pay more if it meant I didn't have to pay a private
   company for inefficiently provided services like the way medical care
   works today, and if everyone became entitled to efficacious
   treatment like in civilized countries.
