You don't get it, though. The government spending your money on other people is an infringement on your rights. From the sound of it, you see this as a good thing and fully support it. However, I don't. I don't like government spending. I don't care if I would benefit from a welfare program or not down the road. I don't want to have other people's money spent on me, and I don't want to have my money spent on others without my direct consent.

That's why I dislike Socialism. Socialism relies on the government to fix problems. I, on the other hand, view that it should be the community's responsibility to do so. If forced, people in a community WILL unite and help each other out. You can see this after natural disasters. If you don't rely on the government, people will rely on each other. Otherwise, people expect everything from the government which is not right. The government gains power over the people when this happens, and the government taxes more and spends more of my money on other people rather than me. Call it selfish, but I don't think you'd approve of me reaching into your bank account and spending your money, even if it was to be spent wisely to help the poor or hungry simply because I demanded the money and spent it without your consultation.

Let's put it this way, at least my country isn't spending huge proportions on a war that can't be won.

Also, you stated that the goverment spends your money, givng it to other people. While that is true, of course, it is kept to a minimum, and the money is used for keeping other people alive, and let's them have some form of room above their head. Also, don't forget that this is a choice of the people. If we didnt want this, it wouldn't be there. Of course, not everyone will agree, but that's the same in any democracy.

Another point, you state that people will help each other after a natural disaster. Well, looking at new orleans, the only thing you would be helped with is them eating your food, and others helping you get rid of anything you had left. Hell, even Cuba wanted to send help when your own goverment couldn't deliver. They where to busy evacuating the rich(er) people, while letting the others die.

Anyway, we will probably never agree, for one simple reason, being that we have been brought up with different morals and values.
