I am paying around 35% of my salary as tax, while some of my poor neighbors don't pay any tax at all. On the other hand, I am not eligible for any welfare handouts from the government, while the non-tax paying neighbors are automatically eligible. I hardly get anything in return for the taxes I pay. This is how the system works. And in the end, the welfare rats always cry that the rich are not helping them.
So if that's actually happening its good for the society I think. As long as the society is working towards bringing some kind of equilibrium between poor and the rich, I think we are moving in the right direction. Being a rich as you said you pay 35% taxes, you might feel that there should be more taxes on the poor and its being unjustified for you to pay the high taxes.

On the other hand I think this does encourage the poor to relax and be even more lazier, because not every poor person is in that situation because they are unfortunate instead a lot of people are poor because they never respected the opportunities presented to them and never wanted to work hard.
