Maybe I support research into space... but what about some parent who can't afford to feed their family? Is it valid to spend all their taxes that they work 6 jobs to earn on space ships? Not even on space ships, their money would go to pay the secretary who does the paperwork to setup paying for the spaceships. NASA should really work on securing private funding- and we shouldn't whine about "the rich" getting a tax break- What happens to their money when the government doesn't have it? Does it get put in a mattress? Or maybe they spend it.... and whatever could they spend it on? That money is going somewhere... buying products keeping other people employed or building sweatshops in china to bring us cheaper nikes or being invested in some mutual fund that invests in YOUR startup.
