I think you overestimate the number of losers in this country.
They may be loud and they may get press but they are an irrelevant minority.
I have proposed the following many times:
Revise our tax system so no reduction in taxes is made, but we are individually allowed to assign our taxes to one of, say, 100 categories e.g. welfare, subsidies, the military, foreign aid...
Every liberal "progressive" clueless loser blanches at the proposal.
How dare anyone suggest that the taxpayer be given a choice!
