The more money you make the more you pay in taxes. The less money you make (less than $50K) you pay hardly any taxes. The middle class end up (>$50K but < than $250K) or about two-thirds of hard working taxpaying citizens pay for all these entitlements. While they are hidden underground economy like the illegal immigrants, whom by the way do not pay any taxes end up utilizing many, if not, all state resources like medical emergency services 24/7 which are then transferred in high premium costs each year to those who have insurance. California alone spend 5 Billion on illegal services. I'm not against illegals, but i believe in "fair tax".

wow I did not know that it was that much [ $5 billion ] I agree with you totally about fair taxes , and may add legal migration
