@cicerone imposter,
I don't think it's hypocritical to have a viewpoint where you can be against Medicare, for example, and vote for politicians who oppose it, but if ultimately Medicare is enacted (and those same people are forced to pay for it via their tax dollars) that they choose to then take advantage of what they're paying for.
That not at all hypocritical.
I'm against lowering taxes right now, but if my tax burden is lessened, I'm not going to send the government any more money then I have to.
