Giving the bottom a free ride and letting them vote for more free rides dooms a society once the free ride crowd hits the percentages it has here in America.
When 49% pay no income tax, how do you EVER get a vote to control spending to pass?

you sure do have a point, no doubt, and America is not the only country with that problem.
But: When a country allows companies to employ people for $5 per hour and this person makes a total of maybe $10,000 per year, taking 30% tax from those people would be a little unfair, wouldn't it?
but making companies pay them $20 per hour would ruin many companies, no doubt about that either.
so i can live with the fact that below a certain yearly income no tax is owed. call it a subsidy and probably better than paying them unemployement benefits.
and unfortunately not everyone can be as smart as we are and take care of themselves
