The system is pre-loaded and structured to take the money from those who earn it and have it, not those who consume the services paid for by taxes and fees.
Hmmm........That does seem kind of backwards.

Taking that logic forward, your taxes pay for a fire department's budget but what if you never have a fire at your home? Your taxes pay for road repairs done by your town's highway department but what if you never drive down those roads? Your taxes pay for welfare services your town has to provide and what if you never need assistance?
