Why do we force others to give taxes to us to spend?

Socialists are thieves, but so what? Join in!

But do I want to give everything I have to the tribe that I am a part of, for them to return it to me? We are the Government. They are stealing from you. We don't need the Government to hold our hands!!

The problem with Government is placing the choices for all of the economy in central control. One person, or entity cannot make good choices for all of us, it is better if we spend our own money, as we like. Do we want the Government to spend our money for us, no, but many don't mind if it is too capable of spending other people's money! They will make the sacrifice of paying taxes if others must do so, out of wanting to do things to others that they don't want. They would be happier to suffer an injury themselves, perhaps even a more severe one, if others will be hurt. They seek to extract revenge, for something or other.
