Example: Poor pereson buys gasoline. He pays approx. 10 percent to the federal government. A select few will get very wealthy off the money, and will be worshipped as job creators and wise capitalist.
No need to argue about which is worse. We should all just agree it's wrong to forcibly take from someone and give to someone else.
