    Obviously it makes more sense to help someone who doesn't make enough to help himself than it does to help someone who could help himself and 10-100 others.

    the destructive oftentimes do not care if the wealthy get taxed greater. the wealthy certainly care although that they are buying government courses that they are ineligible for because of the fact they have been effective in existence. to assert that maximum of the wealthy do not care approximately destructive people is asinine. The Untied States is stated to be interior the utmost in donations to charity. the difficulty is we don't desire government MANDATED CHARITY.

    Seems like it's not the government's job to give either group the teat to suck on.

    I guess both.

    Note: most rich people do not get subsidies from government and pay taxes.

    Tax loopholes and deductions give away 50 % of the revenues . If we ended tax loopholes we could raise the same amount of current revenues and lower tax rates by 30 %

    It depends, a guy who pays 65% in state, federal, and local taxes that gets a 3% tax break definitely isn't a moocher.

    So when I got a tax credit worth about $5,000 last year but still paid more than $200,000 in other taxes, I'm getting away with something? Try again.
