I second that!! Way to put it Cache. My husband works his tail off and we pay to state taxes every year to support all of those who feel they don’t have to work and just have more kids that they can’t support while we pay for their food, beer, smokes and healthcare. When I have to budget for the grocery store and use coupons.

Most of these people we want to help, of course, are hard working U.S. citizens and their children who have been paying taxes like you and me for years and now are unable to feed their families.
God Bless America!
