I want my tax to go to stuff like invading other countries for no reason, or disinforming teenagers about the evils of pre marital sex, instead of helping my fellow country men and women who don't have it as good as I do and need a little assistance.

I don't get conservatives. Social programmes are worthwhile. When you turn your back on those in the gutter, telling them that it is their problem, not yours, eventually it becomes everyones problem. So what if some squander it, waste their opportunities, there will be those who do benefit and can turn it around and that is what makes it worthwhile.
I'm gonna go ahead and ask for proof these social programs work. Where are the statistics of people who are using these programs are able pull themselves together and pull off it.

Social programs just allow those unfit in society to leech off others who are.
