WHY should charity be VOLUNTARY?
Charity is SACRIFICE, a gift to help others.
YOUR gifts sacrifice YOU.
GOVT gifts sacrifice OTHERS.
NOBODY rightfully sacrifices others.
@BraddrofliT BOTH are unfair.
Ideally, government services should be funded by those who consume them. Property and sales taxes are LOUSY ways to do that, as are income and wealth taxes.

Government's purpose is to help each keep what's theirs, not to get what's not. #Justice
Examine your motives.
If you vote to get things that aren't yours, you're voting for government to steal from your neighbors. In that way lies madness and #injustice.
@OrevaZSN We need account responsiveness ratings in the X algorithm.
You know, for jokes with big mouths and little ears.
Like you.
A universe hoarder with many followers but few follows.
Democratic socialists like Bernie Sanders routinely propose to socialize something created under capitalism (for instance, AI companies) without asking why it was created under capitalism and not socialism in the first place.
This helps explain why our societies are heading the way they are.
Politicians don’t care about our concerns and issues, they just push bad left policies that make more people dependent on the state.
Socialists need people to stay poor to keep voting for them. Prove me wrong.
If a handful of billionaires controlled all information, you wouldn't hear constant criticism of billionaires.
In China, North Korea, and Russia, dissent is actually suppressed. Not because there's nothing to complain about, but because there are consequences.
Meanwhile, activists, podcasters, and independent creators criticize the rich, corporations, and governments to audiences of millions every day.
That's not what an information monopoly looks like. That's what freedom looks like.
A problem with unlimited democracy is that it allows people to vote for benefits they didn't earn and then compel others to pay for them.
Once enough voters realize they can use political power to transfer wealth instead of creating it, elections become less about protecting rights and more about competing claims on other people's earnings.
The most politically engaged groups are often not those asking how to create more wealth, but how to redistribute what already exists.
@OrevaZSN That you believe they actually NEED those things demonstrates the effectiveness of political propaganda. Politicians GIVE GIFTS to lure big companies to their district for the purpose of taxing them to GIVE YOU STUFF, enabling them to BUY YOUR VOTE.
Pay attention!!!
“We should have a communist area and a capitalist area beside each other to see who wins.”
North Korea vs South Korea
East Germany vs West Germany
South America vs North American
We’ve already run this test.
Communism always loses.
Government should deal with those who don't keep their hands to themselves, domestic and foreign. That is, help each keep what's theirs, not get what's not. #Defense is #Justice. https://t.co/ksYPiaRO3Q
@omgsidewalks Because they're even with all their customers. They offered customers something attractive. Customers voluntarily traded something in exchange. All even.
