   I think it's all a matter of what they do with your taxes. If they   
   build schools and museums, you are stimulated to pay more taxes. But   
   if you see your money go down into the black hole of corruption and   
   war, then naturally you want less taxes.   
      
   And then you ask yourself if the libraries should remain open when   
   they are occupied by the homeless.
