If you think your tax dollars are there to save your ass in a catastrophe, you are sadly mistaken.... as were all the people that felt the federal government was to blame for Katrina.
I grew up knowing that I should save for a rainy day. I grew up knowing I should prepare for bad times.
Taxes pay for roads, and schools, and old people to have medication they can't afford. There's nothing in there that talks about the feds coming to your rescue because you were too stupid to get out in time.
Insurance fixes shit like this.. that's why it's insurance. You are insured against the unknown. Taxes are entirely different and have nothing to do with it.
