Mandating ME to pay for THEE may please some folks (including the pope) but it is anti capitalist and anti freedom. IF I chose to help others the reasons I do so should be of no interest to anyone else. Good works is not my salvation and never will be.
You are right. Many think if they vote others paychecks to pay for those that won’t contribute, they have done their job as a good person. They do please themselves that way. But, it is only for personal pleasure.
Greed comes in all economic levels. God knows that.
You might consider that any system where 1% win and 99% lose could use some suggestions for improvement in a voting democracy.
