"not all people have the same desires or abilities. however, through government we can help the needy live a better life, ie healthcare, low-income housing, food stamps, etc."  

The needy are not the problem, nobody wants to hurt the needy.  It is the unwilling that are the problem.  The unwilling to work, the unwilling to better themselves.  The unwilling that abuse our social safety nets and turn them into hammocks, where they leach off society's generosity.   

The solution is not wealth distribution, the solution is to stop being the victim and take responsibility for your life. 

I started with nothing and through hard work have become one of these upper middleclass evil 20 percenters.  WHY SHOULD I NOT ENJOY THE FRUITS OF MY LABOR??
