The following questions refer to the excerpt below.
"Well,there is no magic money machine.Every dollar the government spends comes out of your pockets.Every dollar the government gives to someone has to first be taken away from someone else.So,it's our moral duty to make sure that we can justify every one of your tax dollars,that we spend them wisely and carefully and,just as important,fairly.
Unfortunately,hardly anyone could honestly call Federal budgets wise,careful,or fair.Is it fair to ask one small business to help subsidize its competitors? Is it fair to ask workers in the private economy to pay for civil service pensions that are much more generous than the retirement benefits they receive? Is it fair to ask low-income families to help pay for the college education of children from families with incomes as high as $100,000 a year? Is it fair to ask taxpayers to help pay billions for export subsidies to a handful of America's biggest corporations?"
