I don't think I pay enough taxes and i don't make all that much.

You know you can pay them more if you want to, feel free!

I do think my fuckin tax money is pissed away at an alarming rate so i completely understand those who don't believe in raising taxes.

Alright well at least you get me lol. You'd be surprised how few people even acknowledge it as a problem much less understand why one would be upset about said problem.
