Host,
I have a very simple perspective on this issue.
Wealth accumulated honestly based on profiting from adding value in the market should not be redistributed through taxation to those who choose not to add value in the market.
First for the record, teachers, religious leaders, social workers, loving parents caring for their children, do add value. So don't create a straw-man argument on that basis.
The market should determine the value of what one contributes to society. If sitting around watching TV, eating Doritos and smoking a little weed, adds no value to society that behavior should not be rewarded by stealing (or unfairly taxing) from those who actually add value.
As I have stated before, I have no problem with taxation for the care and well being of children, elderly and those who are disabled.
