[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 6041448, member: 24302"] We have taxes for the common good. Fire and police departments, parks, libraries, roads, hospitals, schools. What you're talking about is redistribution of wealth. Taking from producers and giving to everyone else. It's not enough that the top 10% of earners pay more than 50% of all taxes. And if you taxed them even more there's still not enough to give everyone a good income. And imo no one is owed a great living. You have to earn it. But that's not what folks like [USER=56035]@rickyb[/USER] want. They think everyone can be wealthy with minimal effort. If you don't believe that then you haven't read Ricky's posts as long as I have. Before y'all tear down the whole system you need to brush up on economics. It's never worked that way and never will. Everyone can be Christians yet some will do better than others. It's not evil if it's legitimately earned. Something Ricky can't grasp. [/QUOTE]
