The govt has already taxed the rich to subsidise the poor. Do u
know in Singapore, those earning less than i think $20K don't need
to pay taxes at all? Of course dont talk abt GST but even GST is
paid mostly by the rich bcos they consume more luxuries &
expensive goods etc.
In other first world countries, the poor are humanely treated. But
in communist countries, people are living even in greater poverty!
Look at China for eg before it opened up. Look also at North Korea
now. A famine there while the leadership & dictators enjoy
luxuries!
