I would die before I payed 75 % of my income on taxes. I wish all the liberals in the US would go there and enjoy socialism and leave honest working people who believe that poor people who refuse to work or are lazy should be left to fend for themselves and eat amongst the dogs not be robbed to pay for the incompetant.

Let's do a social experiment, then: go to the slums of Calcutta, have someone shoot you in the spine, then pull yourself up by your bootstraps and conquer that country.

I'll wait.

What makes you think people deserve other people's money?  Why do you think that success should be punished?

People deserve a certain modicum of dignity (or the lower rungs on Marslow's Hierarchy of Needs): namely health, food, and shelter. It behooves the whole of society also if those who are unable to participate in society are made able to participate (and also fulfills another Need), and these Needs are superior to the "right of a man to the sweat of his own brow."

Those who are able to give should give, those who are in need should receive.

Now the how of all this is, of course, the tricky part, but there is little doubt that this course of action is *right,* save by those who hold unfeasibly extreme views of property rights.

How, specifically, do you intend to get him to pay this money- regardless of tax rate. Pretend I'm him, convince me to stay in France.
