Times are tough all over

Well, Merc was bitching about taxpayer-funded programs, of the kind he believes Obama will increase by taking more of Merc's money. I indirectly pointed out that Merc himself has been taking advantage of a taxpayer-funded social perk all these years, in the form of tax deductions for his children. Just because they didn't call it "welfare" doesn't mean he isn't getting a break from the government to help raise his kids.

His response seems to be that it's okay to give back money to people who already pay taxes, it's giving free money to people who pay no taxes that he has a problem with--but I'm not entirely sure, his last post above isn't terribly clear.
