If people think that the government is so great at welfare and want to have more of it, they can always choose to give more to the government. For all the people that want to raise taxes why don't they take the initiative and do just that? It would really show that they believe in the government. Have jon stewart or warren buffet donated any money to the government yet? how much of their income did they donate? how much have other liberals donated? Or do they donate to a charity that is better at welfare than the government?

So he only cares to force others to do so? Why not just donate the 15% of his income instead of trying to force others to do so. If he truely believed the US government was the best spot for welfare he should step up and donate to it. No "strings" attached, this is charity we're talking about, not bl;ackmailing others to do what you won't. He should lead by example.
