Nice try, Kafka. See here in America, it's called free enterprise. People who get an education and work really hard make more money than people who drop out in the 10th grade to buy a Camaro and go to work at Hardee's. All men are created equal, after that it's all about life choices. If you choose to work long hours to get ahead, you deserve to keep that money. Sending money to people because they "need it more" is a nice income redistribution scheme. That doesn't work so hot in the real world (see also: Soviet Union). The top 50% of income earners pay 96.04% of all income taxes in America. When there are tax breaks, who exactly do you think should get them? I think it's the people who actually pay taxes.
