Whenever someone gets ‘something’ for ‘nothing’; you can expect that person to increase their demands, and become more dependant upon the hand-out.
I have no problem with taxing the poor at a lower rate than the rich - but my bottom line is this; EVERYONE pays something. No one get’s a free ride.
We currently have 50% of our American population (not counting the illegals) reaping the benefits of taxation, but contributing NOTHING to replenish the resources they are depleting.
We are therefore at the tipping point. Unless this changes, and soon, there is no doubt in my mind that society will collapse.
In a better world, voting would be limited to those who actually pay taxes and/or own real estate and/or serve in the Armed Forces. JMHO
