Surely you jest. It NEVER was government money. It was your money all along. It is simply giving only a little of it back to you and making you FEEL like you are getting something.
You are not. It is still holding on to much more of your money than it should.
I don't mind paying taxes, but government ought to tax consumption (sales, VAT, whatever), not production (income) nor property.
