I think youre confusing wages and social programs. Wages are fair in that both sides agree to it. Social programs like FDR put in place take wealth from those who create it, and redistribute it to those who dont (ie free stuff). Medicaid, for example is not wealth created by those who benefit from it. Just the opposite, it is specifically designed to take wealth from everyone who pays taxes and pay for stuff for people who dont have or create any wealth.
No surprise that the 72 million poor people who recieved medicaid but dont pay for it, like it.
On the one hand, you're right that it's not an issue strictly of each person creating and keeping wealth. It's an issue of the wealth created not excessively going into a few hands - plutocracy. That's a hugely better situation. You complain about Medicaid - so your alternative is, let's have a lot of our citizens killed for lack of healthcare, while billionaires take the money for it instead. Screw you.
On the other hand, you say something that is a fundamental error the right makes - this idea of 'both sides agreeing' to any wage paid. That is a myth. It does work that way for some, and some get reasonable wages. But for many, there is no 'bottom' to the wages they're paid - they have to eat and will take anything that lets them eat - other than the law.
This whole idea of 'mutually agreed wages' comes from when people were paid starvation wages, and the people protested enough that the employers began this idea of 'mutually agreed wages' and 'contracts' the worker agreed to - but each worker was done individual where the employer had all the power, the worker was easily replaced if he didn't like the starvation wage.
This is why collective bargaining, shifting the power to be more equal, was so critical to workers getting a more fair share - and employers and the government responded with violence to prevent it, until some laws were passed to protect it - and then it was attacked by Republicans for decades until unions went from covering 1/3 of private workers to what, 5% today?
But that's the worker side.
The plutocracy side is that while productivity doubled and tripled, and economic wealth increased, doubling, tripling, all the new wealth went to the top 1%. And they used that wealth in part to corrupt our political system, entirely owning the Republican Party to work for them against the American people. Those government programs are for the good of the American people, and you are their enemy.
