 Just to clear something up for the statists

I support and encourage people to volunteer and make donations for people in need

The difference between that and government control is CONSENT without a THREAT OF VIOLENCE 

I hope that makes sense to the dummies

 It's not just the threat of violence that I object to. It's the more subtle forms of coercion, like guilt, fear or obligation that I also object to. 

I don't believe in altruism. Everyone acts because they believe that they will be benefit from that action.

I want to live in a strong, healthy & joyful community. I enjoy seeing people thrive & living their best lives. If I help anyone, it's because I wanted to help them & not because I felt obligated to do so.

I believe most humans feel similar if they're really honest with themselves & their motivation.
