DUmmies,
Even if you weren't unenlightened leeches trying to suck up the country's resources as if you're somehow owed the fruits of other people's hard work, perhaps they might be more inclined to listen if you weren't so arrogant. If you and yours were that intelligent you would've found a way to take what you haven't earned by now and made everyone think you were oh so benevolent. After all, how hard is it to lead stupid people you're supposedly better than?
You want people to have "things" based on income (or lack thereof) instead of from their own labors. There are enough able bodied people who would be content to let someone else work while they sit on their asses (or pretend they're artists or something) to make such a system unworkable. It isn't in my best interest to work hard to have my money confiscated before I've even seen it to give to someone who refuses to work or who thinks they're the next Diego Rivera but don't even have enough talent to do a paint by number velvet Elvis.
You always talk about greed as if the "right" is evil for wanting to keep what they've worked hard for. But, you want to talk greed...how about taking someone else's money while you sit around bitching about not having enough and demanding more. Just because you don't make as much as Donald Trump doesn't mean you're entitled to a piece of his pie. Greed isn't a bad thing, it just means looking out for you and yours is what's most important because we're better at caring for those we love than some anonymous federal bureaucracy who not only sees me as a number but judges me by dollar signs.
Oh, and if you need proof of how "effective" your system works, oh enlightened basement dwellers...look at Greece and France. How's that "best interest" socialism working out for them?
