Something I still can’t understand. Why is it that if anyone works hard earns enough to start a business and works his tail off making it a sucess, they have to pay more precentage in taxes than the one that sits on their butt and draws welfare?

First let me say, I am not rich, retired military and social security.

Because that’s an easy way for the government to get money. Both because that’s where money is—in the pockets of people who earned it—and those people represent a minority of the electorate.
