Forcing a person to poison herself or to mutilate him- or herself is an act of a different order from requiring that person to pay the cost if he/she chooses the harmful action.

That aside, the critical premise is that, when government pays a person, government aquires ownership of that person. You may judge that persons receiving unearned benefits are harming you economically, and perhaps personally. I can make that same judgment about certain employees of my local school district, whose specific titles and salaries I know.

In neither case does the passage of money, and the perception of harm, legitimately convey control over the person's body and soul.
