Like how the government subsidizes the oil companies? They receive money they didn't earn. Let's give that money back to the people who earned it: the taxpayers.
Stop having donor states give the taxpayer's money to states that receive it. In my state we give some of our hard earned tax dollars to other states, who haven't earned it.
Anybody who doesn't support these two things, isn't really serious about being against the redistribution of wealth.
HOW does gubmint subsidize Oil companies? Giving them TAX breaks to get the oil flowing? Producing revenue? Creating JOBS?
Tax breaks aren't giving them anything....but allowing them to KEEP their money to invest for commerce that affects the entire economy.
You Statists have alot to learn.
Because they give oil companies more breaks than they do most other industries. That's why. The oil industry isn't the only industry that creates jobs, and fuels (no pun intended) our economy.
I can't think of one other industry that gets as nice benefits from the government as the oil companies do. Now I'm not suggesting we take away people's earned money-I'm saying let's treat all industries on the same standard. The government showing preference for some industries over others isn't really an example of capitalism, if anything it's closer to another system that many people on the right bash (and rightfully so).
I take the dennis miller view; I am all for helping the helpless, but not a dime for the clueless.

Isn't this the over-used line that claims that income inequality has something to do with standard of living, unemployment, and wages? Because it doesn't, income equality means that people are content to have bad wages, and never rise above their station.
I LOATHE giving my tax money to moochers.
Especially moochers who charge $5 a gallon for gas
The fact is that huge corps have huge amounts of money invested, and if they don't turn a decent ROI then that money goes elsewhere. And that in turn means less R&D, less expansion, fewer jobs created. Why is it okay for a little company with one million in revenue that makes $100,000 profit is okay but the trillion dollar company making the same 10% is pilloried?
I don't believe in people getting their taxes lowered simply because they have children.
THAT is the single biggest redistribution of wealth that occurs in this country.

What benefit(s) and/or breaks do the oil industry get that others don't?
Churches should not be exempt from property taxes. That is another massive redistribution of wealth.
Socialism is involuntary servitudeWhat's your opinion on the morality of taking money from those who earned it and giving it to people who haven't? Not talking about people who cannot earn their own money but rather those who choose not to.
Only to people who must self-servingly redefine words in order to make a point.Churches should not be exempt from property taxes. That is another massive redistribution of wealth.

~50% of citizens are currently exempt from federal income taxes.... And some even get money BACK from the government when nothing was contributed... That is another massive redistribution of wealth
What's your opinion on the morality of taking money from those who earned it and giving it to people who haven't? Not talking about people who cannot earn their own money but rather those who choose not to. And can you recommend any books or writings on the subject?
Seems to me basic self worth is at least in part a reflection on your independence. Or at least contributing something, your own labor or time to your family or community. This country does not like freeloaders, and while there is a certain amount of leeway in tough times like we're in now, at some point opinions change.
So are we morally right to redistribute somebody else's wealth or deny people support in an effort to incentivize them to be more productive members of society?
