Why should my hard earned money go to those less fortunate?

Or use tax revenue more sensibly.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

They are ridiculously low. Plus, that's kinda the point of taxes, to provide service for people. I'd rather support addictions programs and healthcare than our bloated military budget.

"Less fortunate".
Meaning, you apparently don't give a shit about anyone else but yourself, and are a judgmental, black and white thinker. I recommend strongly that you travel and get to know people. Move around. Learn the stories of others.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.

What if your employer was a staunch teetotaller, or aggressive anti-smoker, or a passionate vegan? Does that give them the right to demand that you're not allowed to buy alcohol, tobacco and meat with the money they pay you?

Pleasure, comfort, enjoyment and entertainment are not rights!!!They may not be rights, but they are a powerful motivator. At the very least, a person on assistance who is able to manage money wisely should be able to reward himself and his family with the occasional pleasure, comfort, enjoyment, or entertainment. At best, it's a reminder of what they can get more of once they're in better financial shape and sharpens their determination to set and reach those goals.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
