Welfare vs Charity

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.

OP here.

>Because once we choose to create a society, we agree to sacrifice some of our personal resources in the interests of greater availability of communal resources.

I do not agree with this. There is nothing that dictates that when you create a society you HAVE to create one with the element where the citizens have to sacrifice some of their personal resources for whatever cause. It can be the case, but it is not some essential element in creating a society.

And that is the topic I am trying to bring up. Why should this element, mandatory sacrifice of an individual's property for others (in this specific case, welfare) be included when creating a society? How exactly is this principle proper to human and therefore enrich human lives? So far from what I have observed and from studying history, it doesn't.

>Whatever the reason, whether the poor have been unlucky, poorly educated, or are just stupid, lazy, or evil, they must be dealt with,

Why must they be dealt with POLITICALLY? If a person feels sympathy for someone struggling, he is free to give the man struggling any amount of his own property as he wishes. But how exactly is it right to FORCE a man to give up his property to strangers he doesn't even know? If it's not right, then why should it be a political goal?

>and it has been proven over and over that personal and privately organized charity is inefficient and insufficient to the task

That is the same and only answer I have heard so far for my question from all over. But it does not address the main topic. The very topic is WHY should this "task", the task of "creating a minimum standard of living for the poor" be a political goal in the first place? How is this goal proper to human?

From my study of history and observation on present events, such a political goal is contradictory to human nature, and therefore, destructive.
