Please be honest and think about each item. Don't parrot what your elementary teacher or pastor told you. Tell me which programs you would actually fund by voluntarily sending in part of your income from each paycheck.
Thank you. I will share my thoughts later.
Edit: Note, if you wouldn't support any of these voluntarily, please make a post with "none" in it. Thank you!

Shit Bob, Guess No one cares enough to support anything in this nation. May be just what the fuck is wrong with the US these days. Not enough people who will fight for their freedom or pay for the schooling of the kids. They think since our fathers fought for it that was enough.
Health care for all. I don't want no sick ass coughing on me cause he couldn't afford to go to the doctor.
As far as paying for the war on drugs. May pot leagal and get rid of this other crap that is killing everyone. Back in our day you had to eat a shitload of drugs to kill you. Nowadays one pill from the street may do it.

Thanks for responding, Fergie. Not that I agree with you. I can say at this point that I would not voluntarily support any of these boondoggles. That's why I phrased them the way I did. Why would I want to fund invasions of countries that didn't attack me?
Health care for strangers? What if they drink, smoke and skydive?
Drug war (prevent people from taking the medicines they want)?
Pay police? I mean , really, GODZ fans, what are you thinking? Pay police to stop you on the way home from the bar? 
Enforce laws against alcohol, guns, tobacco, etc? WTF?
Educate other people's children? How do you even know they want to attend? Many don't. What if you don't even have any?
Please try to convince me that I (or you) should pay for these things. I dare you.

Oh, here is where everyone is. There hasn’t been a post in General since September! Wow, here we are Roctober.
Interesting questions Bob-here I go
I would participate in funding protection for the USA and not a foreign land.
Health care-I am an uneducated 48 ½ yr. old lady and have always paid for medical. There was always a way and sometimes it was expensive.
Drugs are a choice. Except when you get to be my age. I have to take pills everyday or be a burden to my Family if something bad happens. That’s what the doctor says.
Gambling-not my $$
Prostitution-not my twat
Salaries-Would pay more for teachers. Not law enforcement. Lottery$$??
ATF-exactly, WTF
Education-nope-no $$ here for your kid, have my own
When I think about this in the way you asked us to, old school and religious. I tried to clear my mind of those influences.
