  Which is why only programs that do good or are vital services should be added.

    Just a little bit more, it’s for a good cause is not a good gauge, any program could be shoehorned into those criteria.

    Guess we aren’t allowed to do literally anything then. Roads are just inherently bad apparently. Fuck the kids, let em starve am I right?

      Maybe their parents should feed them? Not sure why you think my money should be used to take of others instead of them taking care of themselves. Why do you hate personal responsibility?

        Agreed! I want my tax dollars used to force women to GIVE BIRTH not to FEED Starving Children!

      Nope. The right response to that is to go beyond intentions to an understanding of the problem.
