Care about my fellow man. Taxes may rise, taxes may fall but we're all in this together. We're part of a society, not a bunch of individuals.

--------------------------------------------------

I'm Canadian and have worked in the US for over 15 years now. I've paid state and federal taxes all that time while getting very little in return, as I'm not a resident. All I've ever asked is that my tax payments be spent wisely.

Now, while not tooting my own horn but to make a point, I earn into six figures per year. This would generally make me a Rebublican supporter since I should want as low a tax payment as possible. Well, I'm a fervent Democrat and have been since JFK. The reason is that my societal view is that people shouldn't be allowed to fall through the cracks.

I'm not Mother Theresa but I find it difficult to fathom that anyone who lives in a society doesn't feel a responsibility to give everyone a chance at the "dream", not just those with a leg up on the escalator.
