Absolutely correct. Everyone should have skin in the game, even if it’s only a couple of bucks per paycheck.
Everyone should pay something. If they don’t it puts them on the opposite side of their fellow citizens - the payers.
Everyone should have a sharp eye on the government. When one segment is doing the giving, and the other is taking, it automatically pits them against each other and they’re not united in their front to keep a limited government.
Flat tax rate. If 10% is good enough for God, it’s ample for the government. Cut the spending and make it work.
