It is not the government's right to give money to the poor. They are funding these programs with our taxes. We are paying for people to be lazy and not get a job. The government is promoting irresponsibility and lack of work ethic.

We're also giving tax breaks to people who make 10x you and I do for largely theoretical work involving 'representing the company'. We fund other nations that commit genocides and takeover villages in order to commodify their basic resources, putting them out of work and out of their homes. We put money toward companies that pump toxins we know to cause cancer, and these toxins go into our food, air, land, and water -- even like to give them tax breaks. Our tax dollars go into training thousands of young men and women, mostly from the poor who have little for choices already, and when they serve and come back broken, somehow our tax dollars don't quite cover helping to mend them. We pay for drones that kill hundreds of civilians -- innocent men, women, and children-- and even though this is documented and reported, we keep on writing that check. Our tax dollars go to sending money to countries we, individually, may totally disagree with for their policies (I'm speaking to you, my Pro-Pakistan comrades). Also, don't forget, our tax dollars have gone to torturing Americans and otherwise we consider(ed) threats, despite our voting against that very thing. 

To be blunt, of all the horrible, disgusting, vile things your tax dollars do, is feeding and housing the poor [I]really[/I] what pisses you off?
