I do believe in helping people who are in need, but the concept of equalizing all people financially is a communist idea, and kills the incentive for people to become job providers and to seek wealth.
My complaint is when the labor movement stood up for 40 hour work weeks, lunch breaks, and what not, they eventually caved in and let the employer be the commander supreme. They allowed right-to-work states where you can work 39 years and 350 days and get fired 1 day before retirement for no reason and the employer does not even require a reason to do it. Employee rights stink. Employee beenfits stink. No one stood up for the next generation and now modern america is a wal-mart style service economy where you work till you die and have nothing to show for it.
