Over 2 thirds of people receiving government assistance are in working families.  Right now you are sending your tax dollars to support these people while many of their employers make record profits.  Personally I am outraged that I ma having to pay out of my pocket to support workers for guys who are making millions.

And if we raise everyone's wage then the poverty line will raise along with the price of goods.

I get being mad at the rich, but what are you going to do: 

Force them to raise wages with not raising prices? 

Set a cap on profit margins?

Make every business a profit sharing company? 

Being outraged and hoping for magic is not going to fix it.
