You can define it anyway you want, but the point I was making is that no group of people, government or otherwise, should be making these kinds of decisions for others. It is the consequence of the government give-a-way transfer scheme.

Government loves to give things away,,,with strings. It is where they derive their power.

In the old times, Kings just said "you will do it my way or I'll kill you". "Civilized" tyrants do it other ways.

Well said, and very true, very scary, really. What's worse is that government doesn't even have anything to give away to start with, until it confiscates it from whomever it rightfully belonged to in the first place.
