Whether or not I value my next dollar more than someone else is irrelevant. I EARNED THAT DOLLAR. I should get to keep it (or at least most of it). I value every freakin' cent I earn, because it represents my WORK and my EFFORT.
if someone else earns their dollar, they ALSO should get to keep it (or at least most of it).
It's when the government gives away money (which is, by extension, MY money) that people value money less, because to them, it's the same as the trophy that people get for finishing in last place. It isn't valued, IT'S EXPECTED and therefore taken for granted.
The government is probably the WORST arbiter of how to handle money for the good of the collective.
