You have presented "fundamental question", but what is your answer? You ask if we should support those less fortunate, but should we? I ask you, if we support all those who cannot support themselves, what about those who are successful? One who should desire to succeed should not be punished to support those who decide to do otherwise. I do believe that social security should continue, but we should not suffer the burden of higher SS taxes to support those who choose not to succeed.
