Reply To: Should the Township of Lakewood be renamed the Shtetl of Lakewood?

A huge portion of federal taxes go towards national defense and homeland security. Another huge chunk of federal, state and local taxes go towards social benefits that are in excess, per capita, of benefits the average frum family receives (including the very many who receive no such benefits) than the average frum family pays in federal, state and local taxes to cover said benefits.

So overall we’d be better off by reducing said taxes and self-funding our own community charitable benefits.
