Casey immigrated from Hong Kong when she was 18 years old and has been living in New York City for nine years. Here, she comments on how she does not think her taxes are being put to good use:
[…] I paid taxes. And I’m not the only one, and it’s not like I say it loud and proud, but I pay taxes, a substantial amount. And it hurts me to pay that much tax and see it do nothing for me. I couldn’t think of one thing the federal government has done for me for the money that they collect every year. Crazy. Literally, they’re just taking my money. Robbed me blind. It’s like crazy.”
