Tenchusatsu, RE: "Let me tell you that a rich person who is forced to give up more of his or her money toward "wealth redistribution" is not going to consider himself more charitable, because he or she is being forced to donate to an "abstract system" where the money will go towards who know what. "

I'd have to disagree with you. Sometimes I look at my taxbill and imagine all the wonderful things the government bought with it. Sometimes I calculate how many welfare people I'm supporting thru my tax payments. Unlike you, it actually makes me proud I'm helping out in this way and makes me feel good. Of course, it doesn't end there, but it should certainly start there.

RE: "Meanwhile, the moral decline continues."

Maybe the moral decline is with the people who don't want to cough up money for the system ?

Regards,
Amy J
