I guess they are anyone who worked hard all their lives and were fiscally responsible.

I don't mind paying my share and I know that society has responsibilities that need to be met. I do have major heartburn with the tax dollars that are extracted from me being used for so many ridiculous things (foreign and domestic). The people that truly need help should get it, no questions asked. The people that have the ability to fend for themselves and won't are the worse kind of scum. Not only do they steal from us they steal from those truly in need. The welfare systems that have been put in place the past 50 or 60 years are criminal. The people that put those programs in place are the ones to blame for many of our problems, financially and socially.
The problem is those people can't and won't be punished or removed from their positions of power.
