I agree...it's hard to understand why I have to hand over big checks to the govt. that I could definitely use. And meanwhile, people who pay nothing at all scream about "fairness"
Life isn't fair.
I've had times in my life where I didn't have a damn dime to my name and had to struggle to make it. I've had other times where I had so much money I couldn't spend it fast enough.
But the one constant thing was: I MADE those decisions that put me in the position I was in.
When I was dumb enough to fuck around and be poor...it didn't have much to do with "fairness". I didn't expect or WANT any help from anybody, I just wanted enough to get by and have a good time.
And when I made great money...it was because I decided I had had enough of just partying and not WANTING anything. I decided I wanted to have a nice house and a bunch of nice cars, etc.
So without any help from the govt., and not caring one little bit about "fairness", I got in the porn business in the mid 1990's in my mid 30's and proceeded to make more money than all the guys I went to school had in all their lives.
Was that "fair"? No. I was smarter than they were. I made better grades than they did in school, and I was able to do what I wanted all my life. And when what I wanted was to have money...that's what I did.
It's NOT fair that the majority of people can't do that.
And it's not fair that a lion eats an antelope either.
Life ain't fair. And I'll never be happy about having to take care of and pay for people who are not in my family. I don't want to work for other people.
That's why communism always fails. You take away a person's incentive to get rich...and they become unproductive.
What's the point of busting your ass if the govt. is just going to take it from you and distribute it among people who don't have your abilites?
