Poor families get screwed because people aren't paying attention

Reducing benefits for poor families increases child hospitalizations, and increases the likelihood of malnutrition.  The levels of malnutrition in this country are embarrassing if we are to continue to call ourselves a great nation.  We have enough money in this country to feed everyone and house everyone and yet ... well look at the poorest and the increasing number of people who are poor and the reducing number of people who are able to get any help.  It's disgusting to say you want to be a part of country and then say you will pay no part of the taxes, you will help no one around you, and say that this is somehow the american dream.  It is ridiculous to say that, in this country, the rich are providing the jobs and the economy, they are not.  They are often outsources jobs and they are paying minimum wage to people who still put more money back into the economy than they do because they don't pay taxes.  Even the poorest families who do not qualify to pay taxes pay taxes in their local authorities.  Just so fucking sick of these selfish fucking people and their selfish bullshit.  SO SO sick of it.  I will give money to those who need it, and I do not fucking complain about paying taxes because I know that they are necessary.  I think what we need to change is where those taxes go.  If my taxes go towards paying for someone elses tax break, then I am not happy.  If they go to states that refuse to use the money that they get from the government for earned low income programs like financial assistance, but instead go towards giving the rich more money, that is not ok.  That is in fact not what taxes are for.  Taxes can be good, and they can make everyone's life more manageable by putting money into safe roads, good schools, environmental projects like recycling, healthcare, then we would have practically no one going into bankruptcy over things like school, health care costs etc.  This is a wealthy country.  Instead of using our resources and money to pay for the rich to get richer, we should make sure that every person in this country is fed, cared for and educated.  I believe this truly with all of my heart.
