Since when is it OK to steal from one person and give it to another. Many people would feel guilty about going to their neighbors house and just taking what they want. However, some of those same people are just fine with electing a politician who will pass laws that force someone to pay money so they can get benefits.

Whether an individual takes what someone else earned or a group of people find someone to force the other person to give them money it is still called theft.

When our country was founded as a free country, there was no welfare, social security, food stamps or any  other social programs. Each person was free to earn as much or as little money as they wanted and anyone who stole from them was in danger of being hung. Wealth redistribution was treated as the crime that it is.

The mindset in this country has completely changed. Now we think people who have worked hard, educated themselves, and taken risks to make a lot of money should pay their ‘fair’ share so that those who choose not to do these things can get paid for doing nothing!

Now, I am all for charity and being willing to help out those who have had hard times. But real charity is never forced at the end of a gun. When government forces us to pay taxes so that someone else can benefit, that is not charity. It is stealing, plain and simple.

In this country, too many people have an entitlement mindset and that is part of what is ruining this country. It won’t be as long as many people think, before it all comes crashing down. Wealth redistribution is a hoax that people who want something for nothing have bought into. It has never worked well and it never will!
