We need to broaden the base, not just tell folks that the rich will pick up the tab. I believe that everyone should have some skin in the game. Otherwise, the lower income folks will just keep voting for free stuff and the politicians will continue to bride them and play the class warfare game.
Whining about not understanding how to use money is not a good excuse.
