I don't understand why someone should be punished for being successful... It's scary how willing some are to give a government even more of their money. Governments aren't infallible, nine times out of ten they're corrupt and waste hundreds of billions each year. Why would any logical human being advocate giving them more money? We should be reducing the amount of money governments get from us.
