So it is the unequal access that bugs you?  I guess I just have a fundamentally different view of the government/taxes then you. I am happy to support government programs (via my taxes) that provide assistance to less fortunate Americans. I also disagree with some of our government's spending, but I realize that I am part of our country and that I am not going to agree with everything the government funds. My tax rate is around 20%, which seems very fair considering all the government-funded resources and infrastructure I regularly take advantage of (and those that have gotten me to where I am). I choose to focus on all that I get for my taxes, rather than the services I am not eligible to receive. I just can't stand that many fiscal conservatives choose to vilify and demean those that receive government assistance. You often have a valid argument, just present it without picking on a particular group. You will be amazed how much more receptive people will be. Just my $0.02.
