[QUOTE="speakeasy, post: 443487, member: 28"] That's what libertarians say. They may give [i]somewhat more[/i], but there no way it would completely replace what the government gives or even come close to being what's adequate for social welfare. The percentage of income spent on aiding the needy would shrink. The point of government making it mandatory through tax is so that there's a genuine safety net that's guaranteed to be there should you ever slip through the cracks, and you won't have to depend upon the whim of others. Others who may just as soon upgrade to a larger LCD TV than throw you a bone. [/QUOTE]
