This is where you and I fundamentally disagree. I don't think it's the governments job to help people, I think it's the governments job to protect people.

The government has no way to help people. Before it can give, it must take. With entitlement programs (what I meant to say, not progressive taxation), you are helping one group by sacrificing another.

It's the exact same thing as what this thread is about. The only difference here is you now don't like the group being sacrificed.

Protection however, is something the government can give all people, all the time.

 

It's late. Off to bed :)

Income tax, too, I think it's preying on the lower class. They don't have their own accountant(s) to maximize the tax return and lack the knowledge to exploit loopholes.
