It's not logic.....it's me knowing that if I could, I would be happy to sacrifice a little of my personal income to benefit those not as lucky as me.

I'm able to say that because I am in a position where I have had to give up a third and more of my salary to the government.....which pi$$ed me off no end because I don't trust them with it. ...
In that case Grunty, would it not be better that the government let you keep a lot more of your money, which you could then give to those you consider needed it? Charitable donations would probably achieve your view much better than any government.
