I am sick and tired of my (tax) money being used to provide goods and services to individuals when I, and my family, have to pay "out of pocket" for the same goods and services.

If you, or anyone else, feels led to fund these endeavors I am sure the Health Department will take your check. Why have we strayed away from charity organizations in lieu of "forced charity" through higher taxes?? If our government (local, state and federal) would stop robbing our paychecks to pay for these things people would have more money to fund the charities that are "close to heart".
