Originally posted by lemon limeYes, it is. People who pay taxes because they have to, are not being charitable. But that doesn't change the fact that many democracies have chosen to have higher taxes and better welfare systems and that the people who voted or otherwise expresses approval for such systems are charitable. The fact that in the US, so many people instead voted for Trump and not Bernie, demonstrates conclusively that you are a generally uncharitable bunch ( and generally stupid too).
Enforced compassion by way of mandatory charity is oxymoronic.
