Taking care of our less fortunate is one of the best uses of taxes there is, would you rather them go toward bailing out more corporations or more tax cuts for the rich?

Seeing as they go "I'm already taxed enough" their answer is probably "Yes tax breaks for the wealthy and companies makes me happier. For some reason."

Your taxes already go to various public programs, like infrastructure (roads and highways), Israel, public education, police, public services, paying off national debt, Israel again, social security, Medicare, veteran benefits, the salaries of public officials, Israel... Oh yeah, and food programs.

So, like, what's the problem?

The problem is I already pay way too much in taxes.

How do you propose they get food then, if not by your tax dollars?
