No, because I'm not letting anyone take my hard-earned money to redistribute it to people I don't know. That's called having a welfare state, and does [i]not[/i] work in the real world, no matter how much you'd like it to.
If I want to help people, I'll give to charity or volunteer (which I do), but it is [i]not[/i] the government's place--or anyone else's, for that matter--to decide how much I need to give to anyone.

Explain?

Not Marx's socialism. I know what you're talking about, but I'm talking about the misnamed facet of modern overreaching government. I'm not sure what to call it besides the misnomer, so I used the misnomer.

Welfare state?

Yes, that's it. Christ, I can't remember this stuff anymore. I'll edit the post, thanks.
