Why is it that when progressive policies that help the bottom 90 percent are proposed, the question always seems to be, "How will you pay for it?"

But when the top 1 percent ask for bailouts, tax cuts, and subsidies, the question always seems to be, "How much do you need?"

@rbreich Probably because, not only do most policies wind up doing more harm than good because they are poorly structured. But more importantly they tend to be far more expensive than they need to do due to waste. Most of us see our tax money burn up into nothingness and arent very comfortable giving our government more to burn.

To contrast this I also live in the Netherlands and I am more than happy to pay the taxes there because they are well spent.
