Craig T. Nelson (star of TV's "Coach") on Glenn Beck:

BECK: Are you are saying you personally won't pay income tax anymore?

NELSON: I'm really thinking about it, Glenn, because as a fiscally responsible grandfather, there are programs that they're asking me to fund that I refuse to fund.

[...]

They should be allowed to go bankrupt! What happened - we are a capitalistic society. OK, I go into business, I don't make it, I go bankrupt. They're not going to bail me out. I've been on food stamps and welfare. Anybody help me out? No.

There you have it: even if you get food stamps and welfare, it's not someone helping you out. And a TV star is sick of paying for it.
