Reactions Around The World (PHOTOS) Also, Sumpta, I couldn't agree more with your post. The fact that so many people are against the idea of paying a bit extra in tax in order to help a struggling single mother or anyone who's had something awful happening to them, honestly disgusts me. And believe me, there are more of those than there are people simply looking for handouts and don't want to work. The vast majority of people want to work; they want to contribute to society, so why people are focusing on the small percent who don't is somewhat confusing.
