It's your money, sure. You earned it by doing whatever it is you do. But part of the PRIVILEGE (so the IRS tells us) of being US citizens is that you have to pay the US gov't some money for all your opportunities.

Yes, it is my money. I did earn it. I want to keep as much of it as I can and do not want them taking more from me and giving it to someone else just because I worked hard and someone else did not.
The point where you fail to realize the flaw in your philosophy is where you cannot distinguish from the people who will take advantage of this and the people who really need it, and what the end result of this transfer of wealth will mean.
The people who really need it should get it from charity. Not from the Gov't as they point a gun in my face.
