Your system: steal for the rich, keep most of the money, and give trinkets of aid to the poor. Further, the poor become dependent on the government, creating a welfare state that will place a drain on the economy, and encourages mediocrity.
It won't be stealing, it's like change in their pockets that their losing. The poor won't rely on the state. We are only giving them a bit of relief by lowering the tax.
My system: A constitutional system where individuals, businesses, and states aid the poor, in the ways that they see best, rather than have Washington dictate the system.
Yes, an unreliable system were only the lucky get help.
I would also like to ask you, where is it in the Constitution that it says the government must provide for the people? I've never noticed it, and I doubt the Founder would have wanted to force one group of people to provide for the other ((except the slaves, but that's neither here nor there)).
While it may not be written, is it our job to represent and fight for a better life for every American. I work for the people and fight for everyone, including the minority.
