I am amused by the number of people who define "having souls" as "forcing other people to be generous on their behalf."

Real generosity is when it comes out of your own pocket.

A Congressman who spends billions of other people's money on Good Works is worshipped as the finest human being ever to walk the Earth. Those in the private sector who actually generate that wealth and have it taxed from them are routinely spat on. Meanwhile, the Congressman lives large, buying new corporate jets with more tax money while screaming at private CEOs who bought their jets with their own company's money.

Quite a gig if you can get it, and firmly rooted on the intellectual flatlining of a large section of their voting base.

There is no logical line between a "right" to make people provide you with health care and a "right" to make people provide you with anything you consider sufficiently necessary to make your life worth living. The list of things in this category grows constantly.
