redistribute the extras? Lets say that Mike works 70 hours a week and saves as much as he can. He buys a rental property and invests in the stock market. One day he realizes that his hard work has paid off and now he can buy more rental properties and invest more money in the stock market.
Joe works in a Pizza shop and sleeps with some of his customers. Some of them get pregnant and go on welfare. Since he is inept and can't provide for his children the Government gives him TANF and his children get welfare.
Now lets say that the economy falls apart because of too much welfare and some people in the stock market were abusing the system. Both Mike and Joe lose their jobs but Joe gets welfare whereas Mike not only loses his unemployment but his net worth is decreased because of quantitative easing. At the same time taxes are increased on Mike to the point he has to sell his own property just to pay taxes so that Joe can keep having kids who go on welfare.
So tell me what kind of a system punishes those who work hard and rewards those who are lazy and worthless?
