Sure some of those in the 50% have made poor decisions, or may be addicted, but a lot of them are hard working people.
So sure the poor may have it "easy" according to some of you, but the fact remains the system isn't going to work some magical third way, people need to get by, those that can't figure out the system often turn against it to a life of crime, so what is better, tax the poor further so they are poorer and more desperate?
The numbers for the middle to even the top 5% sure debate those, but the top 1% have it made either way.
So where do you get the tax $ from. ? Seems pretty obvious.

what's obvious is that we have 50% of the population paying no income tax and voting for every democrat who promises them their handout at the expense of someone else.
That needs to stop if we're ever going to get ridiculous governmental spending under control.
you can't have people who don't contribute voting on what should be spent.
