I think DLF is just pitchin' it raw. Sure, she would probably get farther if she learned to couch her ideas to make them less offensive. Even though I do not agree with her, I understand where she is coming from and it seems she just hasn't taken all the variabls into account.
I have envisioned a system where we waste no money of social programs and allow the free market to control the scene as it is meant to. The problem is that a free market does not control externalities, and people have proven to be bad at manageing their own money so some control has to be exerted by the government. That is why America is set up like it is right now, with an attempt at balance between social programs and free markets.
My new vision has a large place in it for people who just do not want to work. Yes, the fully capable putz that IS just lazy. I figure let them live a life of subsistence only and allow those that rise above that mark to flourish without punitive taxation.
I loathe the idea of taxing the shit out of the rich just because they have more money than everyone else. Adrian has it right, they already pay more even though they pay the same percentage.
