Let me be clear about what I was saying.
I'm not saying we should not help those who are less fortunate in many ways.
I am saying that it is not the federal government's responsibility, or right, to do so.
They should not have the right to take something from someone else and give it to me simply because that person already has more than I do.
And you're right, if you are a socialist, we probably won't agree on much politically.
I believe in the US Constitution. If there are things that should be done by the federal government that are not allowed, there is a built in mechanism for revising or adding to it.
Unless that happens, it should be followed at all times, not just when it is convenient.
Ppl want to be rewarded for their efforts. When a 3rd party takes away from one to give to another, you are punishing one and rewarding the other. That's absurd. Punish the one that puts forth effort & reward the one that doesn't. We have something over here that is like that. It's called a Worker's Union. Everyone gets paid the same, regardless of their efforts. It's shameful.
