Who else you’re going to take from?
The non-working families?
May be the rich who don‘t actively work anymore but just passively accumulate wealth from rent, interests, dividents, capital gains, and/or inheritence?

Why take it from anybody? Why give free money to people who are able to work?

Gotta have a tax system where everybody has skin in the game. At least that way, when voters want new programs or projects, everybody has to pony up.
