Every year, average americans, pay at least 25% of their income in taxes (total). A very large part of that goes to welfare, disability, medicaid, and medicare. While leavng out the small portion of seniors who receive social security entitlements, and those with physical disability, is it our responsibility to pay for housing programs, welfare, food stamps for those "less fortunate" who cannot fnd a job. Also is it a civic duty to gve social security entitlements to people who have received mental health diagnoses, with a minimum payment of 650? plus better healthcare than any of us have ever seen? Is providing all of these things to "less fortunate" and "mentally ill" people out civic responsibility. Or, should we, as a culture have pride as one of our values?
