Hot Topic #145:

It's tax season and working people across the country are filing their taxes this month. Your hard-earned tax dollars go to programs all over the country that save lives, change lives, and make our country a better place to live. 
Which program are you most proud of contributing your tax dollars too?
  • Domestic violence shelters 
  • Special education programs for kids with disabilities
  • Mental health care for veterans
  • Cancer research
  • Pell Grants for low-income students to go to college
We all pay taxes to support programs that we may never personally use. But we all benefit when the most vulnerable people in our community are supported.
What is a program that you don't personally need, but would help people in your community?
  • Support for parents of kids with disabilities
  • More funding for teachers and public schools
  • Social workers to help homeless people get back on their feet
  • Programs to help kids find a job and stay out of trouble
  • Programs to help people who have been to prison start a new chapter
