[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 176829, member: 704"] Dollars circle like flies. The taxes a hardware store owner pays goes to police, teachers, country road departments, farm subsidies, and yes U S Geological Survey. In return they all pay taxes that go to the same things. Everyone on a salary is in the same boat. Store owners, farmers, and other business owners at least have tax shelters. No matter how you earn your money it hurts the same paying taxes. The gain comes in many forms. The teacher who educates your children produce an educated person who will earn more and pay more taxes. A person who owns a factory will with labor turn raw materials into something of more value. In U S G S they will acquire information that will reduce exploration for mining and oil drilling. Some will provide research for wildlife and agriculture resulting in game for hunters, and agriculture programs for farmers. I think U S G S does a lot of things that benefits farming that 99% of farmers are not aware of. I really admire hunters. They (we) asked for the 11% excise tax on firearms and hunting equipment. No other people in this nation put their money where there mouth is like hunters do. Many times I have heard people say I don't like my tax dollars going for X. The truth is their tax dollars don't go for X the hunters pay for X. When complaining about your tax dollars and how the Fish and Wildlife use those tax dollars you need to make sure it's actually your tax dollars. Of course some people who pay no taxes bitch about how "their tax dollars" are being used. [/QUOTE]
