No: I mean wealthy taxpayers who spit fire at the idea of "their" taxes being used to help people who need assistance.

So the people who actually pay for stuff are the freeloaders in your view? Because they have some objections?

People who expect society to function healthily but who don't want to pay for everything that verfiably *makes* it function.

That would be the bottom-earning 60%, who don't pay for everything that makes it function.

The prob is not that the bottom 60% don't chip in enough. Problem is wanting to give them even less, and have society still function.

Also like. In referring to "bottom 60%" you are literally referring to MORE THAN HALF THE POPULATION?

Right. You're calling more than half the population "freeloaders".

No: I'm calling out people who object to their taxes being spent on social services because *they* don't need them.

Maybe don't use "freeloaders" then, to describe the people who actually pay.

The original thought was that those who want society to function without paying for services to the poor are people who want to freeload.
