I am a taxpayer.

Editor,

I am delighted when my taxes help pay for Medicaid, WIC, Planned Parenthood, K-12 education, colleges, universities, and other programs that improve the lives of Americans who need a helping hand.

I am disgusted when my taxes go into the pockets of war profiteers, larcenous banks, oil companies, corporate CEO's, and other rich people who make a living stealing money from working people like me and the poor.
