At what point does raising tariffs, cutting defense, and the government hand outs factor in to the discussion?

defense can't really be cut that much except for the damn stealing and padding involved. handouts do need to be looked at carefully... one of my thoughts is that if the USA is going to 'police' civil wars etc... those fucking countries need to pay for that
and some point people that 'do not produce' need to realize that people that do 'produce' should be rewarded. as an example: a person nets $132K and pays $60K in taxes BUT had to work 90 hours a week to do that... is that reasonable?
yes there are' rich people' that fuck off most of the time HOWEVER ALL THE GUYS I KNOW THAT MAKE MONEY WORK LIKE FUCKING DOGS AND LONG HOURS...
