Okay. I'll go over this reeeal slow so that you hopefully can comprehend this:
You get a job or start a business, work hard, and make some money.
I, as a government come and force you to pay money. If you refuse, I throw you in jail. If you resist, I will use my gun to enforce the payment and penalty.
You don't want me to take your money.
You don't have a choice. I am forcing you to give me your money.
That's theft.
I will take a big cut of it, then give the rest to people you don't even know because they didn't work for that money.
That sound fair to you?
Now an alternate model:
You get a job or start a business. You work hard and make some money.
You see that people are need, not due to their own fault. Let's say in this example, that these people have cancer and cannot work.
You find a charitable organization to help such people in their time of need.
You research this organization and find it legit. It genuinely helps these people in need.
You voluntarily give to this organization.
That seem fair? In my book, this 2nd alternative is charity, not theft. It is entirely voluntary whether you give to the organization or not.
If someone forces you to pay money, even for 'charity' (it's not), it is theft. You have no choice. You MUST become the victim for the sake of 'charity'.
See the difference between charity and theft now?

That's Communism.
Still Communism.You don't want me to take your money.
You don't have a choice. I am forcing you to give me your money.
That's theft.
No. Dumb question.That sound fair to you?
That is sharing.Now an alternate model:
You get a job or start a business. You work hard and make some money.
You see that people are need, not due to their own fault. Let's say in this example, that these people have cancer and cannot work.
You find a charitable organization to help such people in their time of need.
You research this organization and find it legit. It genuinely helps these people in need.
You voluntarily give to this organization.
People with cancer can contribute in various ways.
Correct. It's sharing. Glad you understand.That seem fair? In my book, this 2nd alternative is charity, not theft. It is entirely voluntary whether you give to the organization or not.

I don't have an exact list of what makes a great American, but I do have some indicators.
I have never heard of a great American who calls himself a great American. And great Americans tend to speak of how much they owe America, not how much America owes them.
Those are just some two of my thoughts. If you feel they are an attack on you personally, maybe you should rethink how you doing as an American.
