Well, you're not denying the poor anything. You're just not giving them something. It's not like they'd paid a bill for healthcare and then you decided to not serve them as they'd paid for. That would be denying them.

The thing is, the poor are being taxed redundantly. They can at a given percentage only account for 5% of the taxed income. My solution: Stop taxing the poor shmoes, and then sooner or later (sooner rather than later) abolish all income taxes, and shrink government accordingly. I want all money going into any programs to be an A->B situation. No funny-money or book-cookery.
