I didn't say anyone should be 'forced' to pay for it. I'm a Conservative (note the capital 'C') and I'm also a Christian who believes, verbatim, the teachings of my Lord and Savior of helping the least among us, whenever possible. I don't see an oxymoron in that. I would hope that you didn't either.
I sure don't. I admire your principles.
You might be fine with your tax dollars being spent on certain social causes, but taxation involves *everybody*, not just oneself.
The truly compassionate thing to do would be to remove the government bureaucracy from charity and make it purely voluntary. That way, citizens could contribute of their own free will to charities they deem most effective and efficient.
