No, he is dead on correct on this point. Taxes are not charity. They are not charity from the perspective of the giver, and they are not charity from the perspective of the recipient.

There is nothing charity like about it. Welfare checks are not charity. SNAP is not charity. Section 8 housing is not charity.

Charity, is the a voluntary action, between people, where the person doing it, is doing it without any coercion, and the person receiving it, knows it is done by choice, and accepts it with gratitude. This action results in a mutual understanding that makes up a relationship in civil society.

None of that is true of taxes and welfare programs. I have no choice, and must pay by threat of force, or even death if I resist. The money is taken without my consent, or approval, and given to people without my consent or approval.

There is nothing voluntary, or charitable about it. If you want to know the difference, most people who are operating on a charitable feeling, want to give as much as they are able to, to help the cause. Do people react the same way to taxes, or do they do whatever they can to get the absolute most deductions possible to avoid paying taxes?

Moreover, the people getting these programs have absolutely no feeling of gratitude, but rather of entitlement. Real charity results in someone feeling as though someone who did not have to, choose to help them, and that results in gratitude.

But the average welfare recipient only feels hatred for the people who gave them welfare, because they feel as though it was your duty, and not only was it your duty, but it wasn't enough.








Having worked at a shelter, and seeing the people there and how they treat people who give charity, verse the attitude of these people... there is no comparison.

Your videos show the contempt handouts breed for society.

When my daughter was away at college I paid 450.00 per semester for a bus that made a round through the areas where students rented apartments. My daughter told me that many times there was no room for her because the bus stopped close to a block of public housing and they all piled on. She said they would even spread laundry and walmart bags across several seats. I complained to the school and the response was " nothing we can do ...they throw rocks and cans at the bus if it refuses them entrance"
I explained to my daughter that these people had been provided housing, food, spending money all their lives for generations in exchange for votes and they saw the bus as simply something else that fell from the sky to transport them like all the other largess.

Watch this womans FURY when the gravy train is cut off even for a week. They literally are wards of the state who starve if not fed.
