Spread the Wealth?

The fact that this country is in an economic crisis, is scary enough, but to me, an Obama/Biden presidency would be scarier. What scares me is that Barack Obama wants to even the wealth distribution in the country, which sounds A LOT like socialism to me. He wants the wealthiest to pay the  most taxes, and to give their hard earned money to the crack head on the side of the street that is too messed up to hold down a job. He wants to give money to the single woman that has gotten pregnant 4 times by 4 different men, that is too lazy to get a job. He wants to give money to the lazy, that think "Ah I'll just lay around and let the government take care of me." I'M sorry, but I don't think that I am responsible for their well being. 
My parents work hard to support our family, just like millions of others do. And millions of families DO NOT have the extra cash laying around to fund some welfare program like Obama intends to do. This is America, the land of opportunity- there is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE for anyone to need to be funded by the government. We are all given the equal opportunity to get an education, and a job. Most states offer scholarships to instate schools, if you can't get that, the government gives away money each year to those that need it in the form of grants. I'm sorry that there are people out there that don't have an education, and can't find work, but that's their own fault. I'm not responsible for their life or their families, only they are!
