just because one can not afford to pay taxes does not mean they are a leech on society.
the country as a whole should pride itself on all of it's citizens - and that includes the poor and working poor.
they contribute. but the contributions of money via taxes by those able to pay are what makes everything possible.
that is why i reiterate firmly - the most patriotic thing any American can do is pay their taxes. if you pay taxes and do volunteer work or work within and/or for the community - you deserve utmost respect as a patriot.
and yes opi - that includes soldiers who do all of the above.
