Income distribution increases reliance

Isn’t the real issue regarding tax cuts one of income redistribution?

Our welfare state has gone so far that the real issue is totally lost.

Hasn’t the support greatly increased, to take money from those generating strong income and directing it (through the government) to those of us making less income?

Don’t we make people more dependent on the government and less dependent on themselves?

Don’t we see the siphoning off of money as it is conducted through the government on its way to the lower-income recipients?

Don’t we vote for those who favor the transfer of empowerment to the state in favor of responsible individualism?

Socialism doesn’t work.
