Taxes reward those who don't produce and punish those who do produce. But, taxes are the price of living in an organized society. Also, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Money isn't the problem, it's a lack of education about how money work that is the real problem. If you give poor or lazy people money it'll just find it's way back into the pockets of people who understand how money works (the rich). Even if we take everything from the rich, they'll just get it back because the average person, with no financial education, is incapable of preserving or creating wealth.
