Give people a 'hand up', yes, show people they don't have to always be dependent on others or the government, yes, help them find a job, yes. Live their lives/provide for them, HELL NO!
I think what he meant was to raise taxes to help those who are actually in need, people with disabilities and such who actually struggle to stay above the poverty line because government benefits are little to nothing, and it's hard for those families to care for their disabled family member and work long hours just to get by. I don't think he meant to provide for all those assholes who leech government benefits and sit on their asses every fucking day doing crap all. Those people deserve nothing at all. They need to be forced to get jobs and have their benefits drastically cut because it's a detriment to the whole country to have to shell out millions every year to provide for them, and it hurts the pocket of millions who actually have the motivation to get off their asses.

In closing... Higher taxes would be good if they went to do the right things, but as we all know, absolute power corrupts absolutely and our hard earned cash would only go towards pay raises for the already wealthy government sectors that sit on their asses passing half assed laws onto the common man.
