You're not a part of that equation.  You bust your ass.
I'm talking about the bulk of upper 6 digit makers and 7 and 8 and nine 
digit makers who do absolutely nothing.  They are just as guilty of 
being freeloaders on us taxpayers as those who have next to nothing... 
and more so because paying taxes at a lower salary hurts a LOT more.

That doesn't work.  The grand majority of them are that way because 
some deadbeat knocked them up and left them in the lurch.  They sure as 
hell need help making ends meet.  If that means taking their children 
fine... but why would you target the women in this case... it's not 
necessarily their fault ALL the time.  Why are they on crack... why are 
they selling their bodies?  They were denied the education to make the 
right choices and various other services because the greedy decided 
they didn't want to pay taxes.
