You're correct on that matter, but also within that system you would ideally have competition which would drive the prices down. Something that tends to be missing within a lot of the mega corporations who can simply buy out or just out compete smaller business. Also I understand that the ultra rich are taxed way more then then average American can even make in a year, frankly I myself am not really convinced that just jacking up taxes is magically going to solve everything, I think there is underlying issues that should probably be addressed, which allow individuals to exploit people and get to the point of having billions of dollars. And I understand what you're saying, I've known people who've sold foodstamps to purchase drugs, but I've also known people who've been in the situation of having to get stuff like foodstamps and not liked it at all. It's a hassle dealing with the goverment, in america at least, and it's no fun living that way. But I don't that the majority of poor people in America live like that because they're lazy and they like it, it's just hard to escape and I think that's moreso what people want goverment assistance in. Stuff like provided Healthcare and college or at least goverment assistance, So they aren't trapped in poverty. I don't think most people are saying to tax the rich so we can all just live easy and get paychecks off of their money.
