Welfare vs Charity

Name: Anonymous 2010-01-05 7:54

This issue bothers me more than anything nowadays, so let's have debate.

So why should a person be FORCED to help someone else? If someone needs help, they can always ask for charity.

That is the wrong justification for private ownership.

If a person, such as a farmer in your example, happens to be incompetent, does that give others the right to take away his property without his consent for "better" uses?

Private ownership isn't justified because somehow it happens to be the best system that allows individuals to become slaves to  causes other than their own lives. Private ownership is justified because it is the only econ-political system that recognizes the right of every person to their own life in a society and grants them the liberty to pursue their own happiness.
