What is the democratic view on paying taxes that go to people who don't work?

I'm a democrat and support OBAMA but I'm kinda confused on all this ';tax'; issue stuff. I agree with Republicans how we shouldn't have to work to pay taxes that go to people who don't work, but what is the DEMOCRATIC view? I read someones answer to the question ';why should we working people pay taxes to people who don't work but are fully capable of working'; and they said ';no, it doesn't work that way';.



I think what I need is for someone to tell me the Democratic view and their ';rebuttal'; to the Republican's view. Any help please?What is the democratic view on paying taxes that go to people who don't work?
Some people don't work but still need help such as the disabled and elderly, and some people need temporary help to get on their feet- such as single mothers who are going to college and working full time but still can't afford to feed their children or pay for health care. Thats what welfare is for- temporary relief.



I have been married for 6 years and am currently pregnant with my first child. My husband cheated on me and became violent when I confronted him and I left. Luckily, I have a bachelors degree and a good job and parents that are helping me out. What about women who DON'T have those support systems that I have? Should they have to stay with an abusive man because they can't afford it on their own? Luckily, welfare is there to help them while they go to school and gain job skills to support themselves. In that case, I don't mind paying taxes to help other citizens.



Yes, SOME people do abuse the system, but many more don't.What is the democratic view on paying taxes that go to people who don't work?

Obama explains his plans in detail on his website,

unlike Mccain who's telling you not to vote for him but don't give you a plan of his own.
It doesn't really matter if you are a registered Democrat and have previously voted that way, or if you are just calling yourself a Democrat, you don't have to vote that way if you think don't think that Obama is the best person in this election.And there is no confusion on the tax issue. Obama will want those who have it, to give it to those who don't have it. That is the democrats mantra, and it is Obama's mantra.
