Its almost as if you're trying to describe me as being selfish for thinking about my neighbor. I'm sorry.
No, we're describing you as a tyrant for forcing others to pay for the neighbor that you're thinking about.
Stop thinking about that neighbor and lend a hand, write a check, or offer him a job. Then we wouldn't have to steal from some in order to satisfy your ideas of what's best for others, which may very well conflict with mine.
If you really believe you live in a community...a society, you wouldn't advocate forcible theft. You'd actually step up and give to those causes/people you believe need your assistance without taking from others.
Believe it or not, you really don't know what best for everyone else, but you are free to put YOUR money where you mouth is.
