Taxation - We all pay taxes. What should they be used for?
Some will argue that the Government has an obligation to provide for necessary services that we all need to operate, connect and simply exist properly as a society. Others will argue that it is wrong for their to be a wide disparity of incomes. That those who have very, very little must be given more. That those who have tremendous resources must have those resources reduced in order to make our society " kinder and more decent".
One additional consideration often thrown in is the "truly poor" those who are there due to illness or overwhelming circumstances that were imposed upon them, This is as opposed to those who have made bad choices and are now paying the price for doing so. This is often said to be the "Every Action has consequences" theory.
I do believe as I've stated before that dealing with individuals and considering their lives is the best way to respond to individual need!
