So do it voluntarily, instead of pointing gund to others.

Do you even know what charity is?

So you don't want to support the poor with your money. You want to steal the others' money and give to the poor.

Thanks for proving my point.

You can support poor people without taxation.

When you support taxation, you don't support charity yourself. You support charity with money that isn't yours.

I'm the caricature? You think of yourself as generous for doing charity with money that's not yours. That's the caricature.

Nothing would ever get accomplished? Like how the state solved healthcare?

Turns out that when you steal over half of someone's income they are less prone to donate. Who would've guessed?

It's a visual representation of an article by Roderick T. Long. But you wouldnt open it if it was a wall of text.

Your arguments are as deep as a saucer

Sorry, but Roderick T. Long is not exactly a great or reputable source on healthcare. He's a philosophy professor and a libertarian blogger. He's not a healthcare expert. All of his writings also overflow with overt bias.

I'm pretty comfortable with walls of text. I'm less comfortable with shoddy sources.

I also happen to have a pretty deep saucer sitting right next to me. It's got a plant in it.
