Really lurkette, this is all about deciding government's role in this country. I like to believe that the Constitution still has some relevance in that regard. It explicitly DOES NOT give government confiscatory powers, whether some citizens wish it was that way or not. Our federal government needs to secure our borders and provide for the national defense. They don't need to be in the wealth redistribution business. If you think supporting those less fortunate is important then you should donate your money to charities and organizations that further that cause. Remember that Americans are the most generous people on earth when it comes to donating to charity. So much can be done on the local level without the blunt force of big confiscatory federal government.
