BS...you're about taxing the sh*t out of the producers to fund your socialist wet dreams. That's got nothing to do with what our founding fathers created.
You really don't pay attention do you? I am a producer. I'm at the highest tax bracket. I hate paying as much in taxes in 6 months as you make in a year. I also beleive anyone can overcome their position/status/class in life and make something of themselves with enough hard work.
However, I also beleive there needs to be a net for others to fall back on, so that they can take chances on new things. I also beleive that a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link and by providing support for our weakest links we in turn, strengthen the entire chain (in case this is over your head, the chain is society, people are the links). That being said, I don't think blindly throwing money at it helps. I think that instead of throwing more money at things, we should provide more support, so the people doling out the "socialist wet dreams" have the resources to actually spend enough time on each scenario that they can actually make a difference and we can weed out the abusers.
