Subsidizing Idleness

I agree with this column by Greg Crosby titled "Half of Us Support the Other Half".  He write,  "In this redistribution scheme, the people who work hard and earn a lot of money need to give a sizable portion of that money to those who do not work. This system works out nicely for those who don't work. For those who have worked hard to make their money, it's not so good. And by the way, it's a great way to kill ambition, creativity, and hard work in people. Why knock yourself out if the government is just going to take it away and give it to other people?" Why aren't more workers and taxpayers infuriated by this? Also, can wealthy, successful businessmen please stop apologizing and feeling guilty for the money they have earned through their hard work? In case they have been brainwashed by the Obama administration, success is a good thing!
