Because medical coverage under the health insurance system is WAY too expensive to afford for yourself let alone pay for someone else's

My entire post was pointed an individuals who claim coersion and theft as reasons for not having government assistance.  I was arguing turning it on its head to get someone arguing coersion and theft to come out and say why they wouldn't give to help others.

you mean you were using sarcasm? i don't think your post is legible.

In response to the coersion comment, I wrote this:

If you are willing to give the money to help others, then it isn't forceably taken.  So, one can argue the problem isn't the fact the money exchanges hands, but you lack of willingness to give it up.  In this, it isn't theft either.  So, I would then question why you don't want to give up money to help other people.  Why is that?

One could go onto other aspects of what is really your stuff anyhow, but that is a different issue.

 

It wasn't sarcasm, but pointing out that the coersion (cousin to the "it is theft") argument goes away if a person willfully gives money.  So, I then asked, why the person wouldn't want to willfully give to help others?

Except you know... it sort of depends WHAT Your willing to give money to.  That's like saying "Your willing to spend money, so if i rob you and give you a candy bar, it's not robbery.

I'd rather give money to "Feeding America" then I would donate to the govermnet for food stamps. 

Why?  They get 10 meals for every dollar, while food stamps is lucky to get 1 meal for 5.
