What the OP is saying is very true. why should the rich have to take care of the poor. In reality they already do. The rich are the people who own/build apartments and living areas that are then rented by the lower income people. without the higher class or wealthier people some of the liberties that the lower class wants, they wouldn't even have. Business owners etc...I agree that wealth inequality is a problem, but the way they are tackling it is all wrong. If I bust my ass and work hard, why the hell should I have to suffer because some lady who doesn't have a job decided to have more kids then she could take care of, now here I am having my checks taxed to pay for someone elses kids. Why should people in jail get free healthcare while we are out here having to pay for it because of obamacare. And the whole rich people finding loopholes through the system--its possible for middle and low class income families to use the same loopholes they are just not smart enough. knowledge is power and without it you're staying in the same class or less then that of your parents. There is no reason that because someone makes X more dollars then someone else, that they should be taxed in such outrageous manners that these people are trying to force us into. Its the poor and middle class that want a free ride without having to earn it. plain and simple supply and demand is exactly what this boils down too. the lower class needs a place to live, a place to work, a place to spend money. The higher class gives them all of these things through what they own, sell or rent. why should they suffer?
