sad fact is that most of your tax money goes to pay for roads, services you utilize indirectly , and the vast majority of benefit in the modern society goes to the people with resources and wealth more often than not only earned by right of birth rather than any effort on their part.
the poor, the immigrant, etc all pay more in taxes technically than any wealthy person, as the poor person spends a good 15 percent of total income on taxes depending on the local sales tax. also without poor people to do slave like labor for the wealthy, there would be no upper class at all.
Stand together, or die alone. ( you are not entitled to keep your tax money in the best nation on earth, it is the very very very very least you can do to be part of such a stable society. You should be proud that you earn enough to contribute, and not dismiss the struggles of those without as much wealth as you.)
I did warn you I was a liberal

it takes a group effort to truly have any advancement in society.
on the dog thing I am pretty sure they are the reason humans started getting into agriculture and animal husbandry-- so sharing is critical to the pack!
