Capitalism isn't perfect, but tampering with it doesn't make it any better, or any more just. Sure, you can make it more equalized, but that's a Robin Hood fantasy ideal. Sure, I'll admit it's a nice idea to think that everybody can live in harmony and be equal, but that means people like me have to work to help others, and that's certainly not fair or just in my case.
I have absolutely no problem donating to help others, let's get that clear. In fact, I think we DO have a duty to help others, as a society. However, having the government do that is incredibly unjust. I can't support the idea of protecting people by impeding on the rights of others. If I don't benefit from what I pay towards the government (and American income tax money doesn't even go towards any of the programs Americans expect to benefit from, anyway), then I shouldn't have to pay for it.
I don't mind if others benefit from the services I receive from the government and pay for. Like, for instance, the police force. I don't mind the government protecting those that don't pay taxes, but I want to benefit from that service, as well. If I'm forced to pay money towards welfare, then I want my money back in the form of a welfare check.
whoa.
