I am the 53%

No, I’ve never seen how that makes any sense at all.  It is like punishing someone for working and doing good at it.  Even if someone inherits their money, I don’t see how it is their responsibility to support someone else.  We’re not talking a feudal system where people are creating the wealth for their landowner or something. 

There was a time in my life when I paid no taxes because I got it all back when I filed my taxes.  Obama’s peoples sent me a website to match what my taxes would be under the guise of him becoming president versus what McCain’s plan was.  I paid more taxes under Obama… my family income at that time was under $60,000 with 2 adults and 3 dependent children.  I don’t know how in the hell I was “rich” in Obama’s people’s minds.  (I also live in California where cost of living is higher.  I realize the income would be comfy in different areas of the country.)

I am okay with welfare on a temporary basis, longer if needed during times of economic crisis.  But I would be more okay with a flat rate where you get no money back.
