perhaps, but here in america we have spent our entire history thriving in a business model wherin what YOU earn is rightfully YOURS.
sure the government will place a tax on your earnings and the items you sell... no kidding.
but Obama now has his hands on my wallet... he wants to increase and implement federal programs that will take unprecedented amounts of MY MONEY and freely give it to those who are not willing to work or earn for
themselves.
that is not fair in any sense of the word... capitalism socialism arguments and raised eyebrows aside.
i dont know - maybe in the nation you reside - its is considered normal to work a full month and have a signifigant percentage of your wages taken from you and given to drug addicts, welfar recipeints and lay abouts... if so, i feel very sad for you... seriously.
what you work for you and you alone should be entitled to.
if you wish to be a philanthopist and dedicate your life savings to a charity - thats admirable... damned admirable
however when the government
FORCES you to do it - thats oppression... its annoying... its infuriating - and here in America its a dangerous proposition.
