Let's face it. We live in a brainwashed, dumbed down society, where "Need" is more virtuous than "Achievement."

No, we live in a SELFISH society where rich people horde money and sit in their mansions eating lobster next to their nice cozy fireplace while poor children go hungry.

Not only do they do that, but they make their millions off the backs of people that they pay the least amount they can get away with.

PS a college education does not always mean the person is smarter. You've never heard of buying grades, or people being passed for their sports ability?

Aight, you know, I think you have us confused with a continent that starts with the letter 'A'.

Though perhaps if it wasn't for this collection of feel good laws maybe there wouldn't be any hunger, because if a person wanted to work either for themselves at a young age, or to help their family they would be able to. All these feel good laws only chain us down, instead of helping us.

Liberal myth.

Show me a poor child going hungry and I'll show you a neglectful parent who does not choose to take advantage of the social welfare programs already in place. Someone who places their own needs above the needs of their children. Now that is selfish.

Show me a poor hungry child and I'll show you a food bank. I'll show you WIC. I'll show you AFDC. I'll show you food stamps. I'll show you free breakfast and free lunch programs in the public schools. I'll show you private charities.

Show me a rich person and I'll show you someone who works their ass off and deserves to do whatever they wish with their earnings. What you dismiss as hording, I call saving.

Poor people do not directly create jobs. They create jobs indirectly through their demand. Big-government jobs: social workers, the state lottery, and plenty of administrators and various other bureaucrats. Jobs for payday advance companies, pawn brokers, and rent-to-own stores. Jobs for the tobacco and alcohol industries.

Wealthy people do create jobs directly by starting and running successful businesses, and indirectly through savings and investment. They create jobs when they build those mansions and buy that lobster.

Selfish is someone who chooses to be a net drain on society rather than a net producer. Poor people do not pay income taxes, but the wealthy pay plenty. Divide this country in half and the top half pays 97% of all income taxes. The bottom half pays 3%. The higher the income the more taxes are paid. In fact, the top 10% of earners pay over 70% of all income taxes.

The basic institution of wealth is broken . . . . we are no longer a society in search of freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We are now a society of debt . . . . So the real question is how do we fix such a basic flaw that has slowly worked its way into every major institution bringing corruption? I think the answer lies in the individual.

What money? My money or other's money?

A tax cut to those who pay income taxes is not wealth redistribution.

Giving money to those who pay no income taxes in the first place is income redistribution.

My answer to your question is yes, I would prefer to pay fewer income taxes. Everyone who pays income taxes should pay less. None at all if I had my way.

It is all academic because the line that separates the evil rich from the rest of us keeps moving down the ladder. What was $250,000 became $200,000 during the Chosen One's prime time special. Joe Biden said it was $150,000, which corresponds to the top 5% also mentioned previously by the Messiah. What they are telling us with all the double-talk is that paying for all the feel-good programs will mean that eventually an income of about $75,000 will qualify you as 'rich.'
