How do you feel about:
* Cutting defense spending at least by half?
* Ending all corporate welfare, including oil subsidies?
* Ending indirect subsidies for religion by taxing churches?
* Ending the war on drugs?
* Raising taxes on the top 1% to the pre-Reagan levels?
* Ending indirect subsidies for corporate labor costs by taxing any corporation whose full-time employees must rely on food stamps to survive so the government can recoup the cost of said food stamps plus administrative costs? (Alternatively, raise the minimum wage so that all full time employees will rise above the eligibility line)?
Once all these cuts are implemented, then we can talk about education and food stamps.
Not taxing something is not a subsidy. Churches are not being subsidized by tax payers. Churches are not forced to subsidize the government.
This forum receives donations just like a church. Do I feel this forum should subsidize the US government? No. The people who donated to the forum have already been forced to subsidize the government just like the people who donate to Churches and that should be enough.
