The government spends money to support the poor, but there is a never ending shortage of money. Rich people and companies have money, but feels threatened when the government wants to raise thei taxes. Who is more of a burden on society?

Obviously the poor are a "burden" on society, but it is an inevitable burden to say the least. Even if we raise taxes on the rich our national deficit will ocntinue to grow...it will just be more money for the government to waste.

The middle class is the one who gets less for the money they pay in taxes. The rich can take care of them self.The poor get welfare help. The middle class suffers. the most. But it is The poor who is more of a burden on society, due to the lack of a chance to give back?

People who simply don't want to work, yet take, are a burden. I'm not rich, but not poor either....and I personally don't feel the need to keep supporting someone who refuses to do for themselves. People who are there by no fault of their own or circumstance who aspire to do better and try, I am willing to help. So, no, rich people would not be a burden.

poor people, government should help them to get wealthy and contribute more than they drain
the more wealthy you are, the more tax would you pay; Some people like bill gates are very beneficiary for the society although they are usually depicted as ruthless rich people who just count their money and don't give a damn about others

The government spends money on the poor????
Oh yea, the no child left behind act that takes money from even the mentially handicap schools. Still not spending money on the poor.
The War on drugs, they have been loosing that war since 1947. Thanks to the tax payers money.
The War on Terror, they lost that war. Even more from the tax payers.

The poor that live off the government. There would be no need to tax the others more if there were not so many free loaders.

The people that hog all the resources.
If you were stuck in a lifeboat and one or two people had all the sandwiches and water and didn't share, who would you be the angriest with? Assuming the people swimming in sandwiches and bottled water claimed they had earned every one.

The rich slobs who don't want to pay a fair share of taxes. They'd rather see hungry, sick homeless people than not get a third Lexx.
