No, you haven't "proved" anything other than that you are unable to
consider what the gov't does and what it costs.

Here's the deal- the fed, state & local gov't all do a *huge* number of
things. Some are beneficial to just a few (the SEC), some benefit all
(the EPA), some waffle back & forth, some don't do anything.

Because a very small part of the gov't gives money to poor people, and
you're not poor, you assume that the whole assembly is useless,
wasteful, and you think your share of the cost is unfair.

Pardon me for being blunt, but that's stupid & short sighted. However,
let me congratulate you on being right in style... stupid & short
sighted is the new way to be cool.

Clearly you are the superior intellect here.
