I shouldn't  be taxed to support criminals in prison, by doing so the government makes me a victim of their crime.
Those who want to keep them alive for life should be the ones paying the taxes to support them in prison.
Also, we tax payers should have a say in where the tax money goes not Washington.  There should be a questionar included in our Federal returns giving us the option and input to say where the money goes.
