Compassion lies in the ability to learn how to get people how to help themselves, not do it for them.

Compassion is also providing a social safety net for those facing temporary set-backs....or easing the tax burden on those who have little to spare beyond meeting basic needs.

Every westernized capitalistic country in the world understands that and have such policies.

Talk about tax burden , you mean on those that pay little to no Federal Income Tax?

You learn pride by contributing to your station. Not having people continually had in to you on a silver platter. I doubt you would find many people who wouldn't be willing to give 6% of their income for free healthcare at the lower end of the socioeconomic scales. Esp anyone who has ever had a health problem which significantly impacted their income.

Merc....I understand what you're saying.

You want a single mom, working two jobs and still barely able to afford food, clothing, rent....to be assessed at the same tax rate as Paris Hilton.

Very compassionate of you!
