Yup, and the same thing can be said about capitalism. If everyone had no or extremely low taxes, people who choose to not donate to the less fortunate would be rewarded (by not losing money...), while those who choose to share some of their profit would suffer financially. In other words: Good people would be punished, while selfish people would be rewarded. People could choose to take the blow, but they don't work that way.
Or at least it is my belief that most people would choose the selfish/less risky path in that scenario.
