Under my plan, if you buy anything other than the basic necessities of life, you are helping the system. I think that is as fair as can be, and I support that. If you aren't buying anything, more than likely you are POOR, very POOR, and you should get assistance.

That's why I posted that, I'm not against some form of national assistance, just don't base it on income tax, cause that's just taking money from the upper and middle class to pay for the poor...period. Which is strictly representation with no taxation for too many people.
