Why should people who make something of themselves and get ahead in life be most heavily penalized (taxed)? And people who are a burden on society get all the perks? We should encourage people to work hard and be fiscally responsible, not discourage it. But we are discouraging people from working hard because if they do, they get penalized, and if they don't they get the fruits of someone else's labor. It makes no sense. Every citizen should get the exact same service from the government and pay exactly the same amount for it. This means eliminate welfare and other programs. Essentially, eliminate everything that doesn't benefit everybody. Welfare takes money from some and gives it to others, hence, it isn't fair. And secondly, the elimination of taxes. Instead of taxes, every citizen cuts the government a check once a year for the exact same amount.
