Why I want my tax dollars to go to screw-ups, junkies, and other dregs of society

Debating with my friend Chuck today, I finally realized what I wanted to say about the current debates around taxation and the apparent encroachment of socialism (credit to Chuck, he did raise some good arguments against this, but I stand by it): 

"At the end of it all, Chuck, we're never going to agree, because I honestly do want my tax dollars to go to help others -- and those others include the f*ck-ups, the lazy @ss***es who don't want jobs, the impoverished that refuse to help themselves, the welfare cheats, the self-entitled hipsters, the under-achievers, the dregs of society. I am not some bleeding heart liberal despite what you may think, but I know that if anyone looks at their family history, they will see more under-achievers and f**k-ups than successful people. And if you look into your future generations, again you'll see many more f**k-ups than successful people. There is no way to avoid it. But I want to live in a country that takes care of everyone, including the f**k-ups because (a) that f**k-up could be my great grand-nephew, and (b) that's what gives us the best chances for success -- individually and as a nation. America is one of the few countries where you can screw up everything, fall to the bottom, and still -- with some damn commie/socialist handout/help -- climb back. And that is awesome!"
