Agreed, I've made the analogy that as goes Greece, so go we all. The bible puts it another way,
"And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'" (Matthew 25:40 ESV)
The other end of the spectrum are socialist countries like Finland, where taxes are roughly 60%, and everyone essentially has the same standard of living. We have to strike a balance, but Gates, Buffet, and Bezos would rather lobby state legislatures to require mandatory vaccinations instead of offering to pay for free vaccinations for those who want them.
The Tea Party and the Occupy Movement have a common enemy in the status quo. Therein lays the balance.
