Mike,
I do not think I have ever met any hard working man that enjoys
paying taxes or enjoys having his tax dollars go to people that
willing do not work or contribute to socity in a meaningful way.
I guess I misssed something or my brain is on vacation...I do not
see the connection between enjoying paying taxes and wether or not
someone chooses to live here.
Personally..
need to eat or get to eat (from the days of the Pilgrims)
