How can you be entitled to someone else's money?

That is the way forced redistribution of wealth works. The people who favor this type of redistribution are really communists, because that is what communism is all about.... The forced redistribution of wealth in order to make everyone the same, regardless of ability or income. They believe that people who benefit from their hard work should provide for those to lazy too work. It is nothing more than a shake down racket that if anyone but the government tried it they would be in prison.

The truth about political 'humanitarians' is that they are usually generous with the taxpayers money, not their own.

Hello Gewcew, As I see it, the answer to your question lies in the tiniest detail. That being; it is only they who refer to themselves as humanitarian. Everyone else accurately equates volunteerism to humanitarianism. Everyone else recognizes that for an act to be truly humanitarian, it must come from the heart -- not from the threat of retribution! The definition of humane is: Characterized by kindness, mercy, or compassion. There is nothing kind, merciful, or compassionate about demanding, by threat of legal retribution, that one person donate or contribute to another. Especially when considering that defending one's self in today's courts is extraordinarily expensive. In fact, the action cannot be defined as 'donate' or 'contribute', unless all acts of similar extortion are duly redefined. Which, of course means that mobsters are humanitarians, as they simply 'urge' one group to contribute to another group's well-being. You see, rather than villifying Al Capone, we should have instead requested that he be cannonized as a saint. (Yes, sarcasm is definitely ON!)
