Perhaps I should have clarified myself instead of setting myself up for such a knee jerk reaction. I believe taxing for certain programs through which the government establishes and protects our basic human rights is fine, I also find some educational welfare and other programs designed to help people help themselves to be acceptable. What I do not think is fair however is when there is an attempt to shift wealth away from one group to another through government redistribution simply because it is decided that there is too much of a disparity. The custodian does not earn anywhere close to as much as the Lawyer for a reason, and it is up to the custodian to live within his or her salary of find a way to change their station while the Lawyer has every right to do with their wealth as they see fit. The custodian can aim for something better for them self or their children and the government can set up programs to help with that aim, but for them to claim that the Lawyer somehow owes them money because they need it or because their standard of living is too different from the Lawyer's is asinine.
As far as Tax cuts being redistribution of wealth... the only way to truly avoid any forced redistribution of wealth is not to tax at all... now as I am not an anarchist I do not advocate that. However the lower the overall tax rate is, the lower the amount of money taken in by the government, the less money that can be forcibly redistributed to others. The simple fact is the lower class basically does not pay taxes, about all they have to pay is FICA, while the upper middle class who make 300,000 or more have to pay marginally more on their top end income... and I am fine with that. As long as is stays reasonable it is not a problem. Nations like Sweden, Belgium, France, and Denmark just to name a few have absurd tax rates that destroy the incentive to pursue higher skills and achievements. It is hard to find any news pertaining to the subject but if you have a good degree or skill it is easy to find a job and gain citizenship in these nations due to a rather large exodus of skilled professionals having created a shortage.
