We don't have an obligation, but we do have a desire, most of the time.
I think I would gladly subsidize you elderly widows, but would refrain
from helping others who simply ignored advice and common sense, looted,
damaged, and waited for the government to bail them out like they have
been doing each week for their entire lives.
If I choose to live below sea level, ignore warnings from weather people
and the President of the US, elect officials who spend dollars allocated
to levee construction on other items, read decades of articles about the
potential disaster of a hurricane in that area, and rely absolutly and
completly on others to make sure I am allright, or to fix me if I am
not, then do not make me and my children bear the tax burden of helping
then.
Jeff
