I'VE NEVER BEEN ON WELFARE

That's what respondents in this survey seem to be saying.  Tax breaks are not subsidies - unless it's somebody else's.  Then it's a loophole.  Social Security I paid for.  Medicare - I'm paying now.  Unemployment - they take that out of my paycheck.  Student loans - I had to pay back.  Mortgage interest deduction well...that's a tax deduction because I too deserved the American Dream...
