Why do opponents jump to this line of thinking? Why do you think people in favor of social programs don't think all should pay into it? I know SOME people think that way but certainly not all. Seems like a cheap shot in a way.
Why do you people always want to spend other people's money?
Because we are a Republic, not a Socialist State. We value Liberty and Freedom. And don't give me, "but Jesus ..." Jesus taught charity, not socialism. Charity is voluntary. Social programs are by force.
I don't know anyone who is against all social programs. Its the left that make such claims. An all in or all against mentality. Many are against wasteful social programs.

Nobody is against social programs. Some of just just believe such programs should be funded voluntarily by willing people, particularly the compassionate liberals.
We have a progressive tax system due to ability to pay, a flat tax hurts the working poor, by not leaving them enough money to live on.
If taxes go to pay for things like healthcare, postsecondary education, family leave, etc. then that gap is narrowed and I'm okay with that. The reason countries like Norway, Switzerland and Finland can afford these services is because everyone pays taxes. Its only fair IMO.

:sigh:
Many different types of countries have capitalist economies and socialist democratic programs. How many times does this need to be said?
Obviously the tax structure would have to change. That's a given.
That's a given? Liberals howl and scream in protest when there's any suggestion of taxing everyone equally.
