A taker is any individual that is part of the 47% of Americans who pay zero federal income taxes...and then votes over and over for the party that is most likely to increase taxes (ie. take even more earned property) on the 53% who DO pay federal income taxes. These folks also do not have a hint of appreciation, or guilt in their hearts, rather they call you selfish if you don't agree to pay more, and give it to them. Of course this is all due to the King Enabler of Bad Behavior, the Federal Government...the gvmt is close to acheiving their goal (48.5% of all Americans now receive some kind of federal assistance), to have as many people rely on the government as possible. This same entity is the primary reason for the suffering that is happening, all other blame is marginal, and is not the source...in fact, sometimes one may think the it's intentional.
