the problem here is that a dependency has been created.

an entire sub culture in America who are entirely dependent upon others paying their taxes. You have a group of people who either dropped out of high school, or got their GED and immediately went into the baby making business trying to maintain a household with mother crawling around on the floor with 3 kids before her 22nd birthday and father heading off to try and make it all work with a minimum hours, minimum skill, minimum wage job. They coast through the year barely making ends meet, until tax season. when they receive an $11,000 "income tax refund" from the Federal Government.

the irony of calling it a refund is hilarious... because undoubtedly, this household's tax burden was likely under $2,000 for the year - so where did the remaining $9,000 come from?

You and I.

so it could be easy to see why someone would be upset that you "didn't pay in your share" - because in their eyes... when you didn't pay in enough, they didnt get enough of your money.

pretty simple.
