Guess your convictions have their limits. What amount are you willing to go down to to ensure others don't starve? How did you come to that number?
you know, i haven't thought that deeply about it. I just know as a single guy with no kids and a good job i can easily afford to help people. if you don't want to, that's cool. don't care how people spend their money outside taxes.

Charity is done by giving. Taxation isn't charity.

Taxation supports mansions along the beltway

Except you want to compel others via taxes. You play the emoti Nap "people are starving" card to justify favoring other people paying more...however, your convictions have their limits. I'm guessing you won't sacrifice much personally for them. Others can take that burden for you. Sure feels good to be for the little guy with no food, though. Amirite?
