1) They aren't paying taxes because businesses aren't paying them high enough wages so they are able to pay taxes. If we raised the wages of these workers, they wouldn't have to be on the government teat.
2) They don't hate capitalism. And they aren't even socialist. What they are is jobless. And they can't get jobs worth their education. Why? Because corporations don't want to pay for that.
Labor is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. IOW, it's all about supply and demand. When there is a shortage of labor and an abundance of capital, wages will rise and vice-versa.
Basically, whenever the government kills jobs, they are only hurting the working class, because the labor supply rises, while the supply of capital remains the same.
