So he only cares to force others to do so? Why not just donate the 15% of his income instead of trying to force others to do so. If he truely believed the US government was the best spot for welfare he should step up and donate to it. No "strings" attached, this is charity we're talking about, not bl;ackmailing others to do what you won't. He should lead by example.

Government works by everyone doing their part. That's how SOCIETY works. Conservatives seem hell-bent on destroying society by turning the system into an "every man for himself" arrangement. And demanding that liberals act independently even as conservatives do everything they can to sabotage the system is just ludicrous.

Than why not force people into labor camps? they aren't doing their part if they aren't wortking are they? Why not force people who burden the health care system to change their diets? they aren't doing their part to help the society if they are using all of the medical resources. Why not force people into the army or police force? they aren't doing their part to help society if they aren't protecting others and puting their lives at risk.

I think we have differnet views of the government. In my view the governmnet is not there to hold your hand from cradle to grave, rather it is there to protect you from other people.

 

And demanding that people part with what they work for instead of working for yor own is ludacris. Why should i work when i can get others to do it for me seems to be your view.
