hey buddy! Thought I should help you in you quest to get to the greater good thingy you're after.. as in whats the right thing to do?
Ok first of all, one should know that this stuff has been debated by those in control of the goverments of continents, thousands of years ago!
So there has been a lot of trial and error in the arena heh, were not onto something new here is all Im saying.
Second of all, it has been evdient that societies that help the weaker, overall become stronger.
Societies that dont, suffer and deteriate.
The simplest reasoning is, if you dont feed the poor, they will figure out a way to take your food.
That is a scaleable concept that goes all the way up to housing, medicating, entertaining etc.
Now another thing you should think about is how the poor greatly outnumber the wealthy, in all capitalist systems. In all systems really, you can bet that you cant get rich, unless you're taking money from someone else, and you cant take money from someone else, without making a few people poor.
So, what do you do when everyoen is poor? theres nobody left to take money from!... deteriation.
By taxing the rich, giving money to the poor, the rich are able to create more jobs, more outlets for the poor spend money, make more $$
The economy works in a huge circular effect. It's not like the wild kingdom, it's entirely different.
Now all that said, there are a few things that WE DO for our nation, like make it a friendly place to visit, contribute with every paycheck, go to war in defense of it, hell, we BUILT it.
Because of all that, we are OWED something in return and what that is, is a safe place that protects our civil liberties and helps us grow.
The government pay for that through taxes, it's the price to enter the park. Nobody is immune from them nobody has that right, no matter who they are... right now the rich think they are however.
You don't get to walk into disneyland and ride everything for free, no mater how famous and rich you are. You want the park to yourself? Well guess what, you either buy the whole thing, or you pay to rent it out for the day. Both of which cost A LOT of money.
Why should the rich be able to rent the whole country for the day, or buy the whole thing, for virtually nothing?
No, they need to pay their taxes, and the amount of space you want to occupy or time you want the park to yourself (metaphors for how rich you want to be) increases parallelly.
Remember, the rich cannot be the rich without the poor. You cannot be a Job Creator, if there is nobody that wants to do the work. The poor, are more valuble than the rich by a LONG shot... Stop living in fear of 1-2% of the world.
