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.

You're right, if I want to opt out of Social Security, I cannot. I imagine if I went to my local Social Security office and request to opt out of that altogether, the receptionist at the desk will look upon me as if I had a third eye!

Is this not tyranny? How much liberty I am afforded based upon arbitrary criteria? Troubling.
