the Gov't only has "take from"... Payroll taxes are quietly withheld, terms like "net pay" and "after taxes" enter the lexicon and get used so often that everyone forgets that it is YOUR money that is forcibly and unceasingly extracted from your earnings.. Maybe if there was no weekly withholding and every April (or quarterly to meet cashflow) the taxpayer had to write out a 4- or 5-figure check we would all pay more attention to how and where OUR money went. Right now its "out of sight/out of mind". A bunch of out-of-touch Washington insiders know what's best for us, right? They decide where the "take from" goes...
