Comments like anonymous' there probably come from jealously. The rich have done well for themselves and he/she hasn't so he/she wants them to suffer for it. Most of them got their wealth on their own and didn't inherit it from daddy or come from "old money" so that argument doesn't stand with them.

How would you like it if you were in college and studied really hard, showed up for class on time every day, did all your worked and aced every test. You have a 4.0 GPA and you're proud of it because you worked for it.

Your roommate on the other hand parties every night, misses classes, never studies and is barely holding a D average. So your rommate doesn't flunk out the Dean steps in and takes part of you grades to help your roommate out. You have to settle for a B so your rommate can get a C.

Would that be fair?

That's pretty much how the welfare system works. Tax the heck out of the rich that worked hard for it and give that money to poor lazy slackers that don't deserve it. Is that what we really want to do?

Anonymous probably wants Obama to get elected in the hopes of getting a bigger welfare check for sitting on his/her ass doing nothing all day.
