I'm sorry, but not everyone gets the opportunity to go to medical or law school and make shitloads of money. Some people need to support their families and have no time for an expensive education. Some people are born into poverty and aren't intellectually or physically gifted enough for financial aid. People who make more money do NOT necessarily work any harder than anyone else.

I'm saying that people can survive without government handouts. SOME socialist programs might be OK, but not NEARLY as many as we have right now. ITS RIDICULOUS.

Do 47 MILLION people need food stamps?
Do we need to be spending 670 BILLION dollars on defense?
Force people to pay into social security when they can make their own retirement plans?
Another 750 billion spent on medicare/medicaid?

So they were born into a rich family. Are you saying that if, say, I become wealthy. I shouldn't be allowed to make my children's life easier? I shouldn't be allowed to make their lives perfect and carefree? Not to mention, that wealth doesn't last forever. Eventually, whether its them or their grandchildren, they are going to have to work again.
And for taxes, you think its fair to tax the wealthy 40, 50, 60% of their paycheck? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF GOING TO MEDICAL SCHOOL FOR 12 YEARS IF MY PROFIT IS NO GREATER THAN SOMEONE WHO WENT TO BUSINESS SCHOOL FOR 4 YEARS?
People who work harder and go to school longer deserve higher pay than those who don't. And flat taxes would ensure that the impetus to work hard remains. The liberals want to continue to raise taxes to the point where there is absolutely no point in going to school for years on end.
