"If I wanted to donate to charity that would be one thing, but to rob me at gunpoint to care for you is no different than any other sort of robbery."

So how do you feel about the govt taxing you to help someone with say, cancer? Or some other disease that was largely unpreventable?

cancer? Or some other disease that was largely unpreventable?

Same way. Same way I would feel about being robbed at gunpoint because someone was hungry, because someone had dependent children, needed a fix or wanted a flat screen TV. The want or misfortune of one person should not involuntarily become the misfortune of everyone else.
