Who Pays the Taxes and Gets the Benefits

Even as some conservatives acknowledge the value of a social safety net, public support for aid to the needy is falling, an economist writes.
Federal Taxes (US); Income; Income Tax 

Taxes are intended to pay the costs of government.  
They are proportioned to perform social engineering 
in pursuit of the goal of paying the costs.
