From that rabid right-wing propaganda outlet.....er... Daily Beast.
A point I've raised here regularly. If you want a European-style social welfare state, you have to pay for it like they do - by taxing the Bejezus out of the middle class.
They don't want to tax just for the benefit of a nanny state. They want to tax because their goal is income equality. They simply see people with the means to be independent as a threat to their political ideal. It's about control, not the well being of the controlled.
