Well, now you have. :-) Those better off may (and I dispute this) use
the infrastructure more, but certainly they don't use it
proportionately more. An example is the long commute the less well off
have to endure to get to their low-wage jobs. The majority of tax for
these things comes from the better off.

Hardly the same as taking money from one individual's pocket and
placing it in another's.

Does welfare or social security do that? I haven't written any checks
lately to any homeless. Have you?

Do you not pay federal income taxes??

Sure do. When you write your check, do you leave out the part that goes to
the military and infrastructure?

No. Do you leave out the part that goes to welfare, etc.?

I'm assuming you don't mind that portion of weath/benefit redistribution,
but feel free to correct me.

You are correct. I'm more than willing to pay my fair share for
infrastructure, national defense, scientific research, the arts, etc. What
bothers me is contributing welfare funds given to anyone who doesn't need
them, and that includes corporations as well as lazy individuals.

Do you deny that the democratic party has traditionally used giveaways and
entitlements as a vote-getter?
