No, it would be so the people who are smart and responsible enough to invest their money (and actually make capital gains) can put their money back into the market instead of the government taking it. And don’t get me started on all of the stupid, pointless, wastefull “wellfare” programs that the government over-funds. Our government could be so much more finacially healthy if they cut some of the pointless wellfare programs that perpetuate the wellfare cycle. Instead of just throwing money at people who do nothing for themselves, maybe they should put money into the wellfare programs that actually benefit people in the long run?
