> By “helping their fellow man”, they implement inequitable taxation, and redistribution of wealth through social programs and a welfare state. That makes them criminals, it’s a lot like the mafia. They’re not helping anyone with that crap.

it makes them more like Robin Hood than Tony Soprano, but thats not the point.  
While I HATE with a passion welfare and most social programs, they ARE necessary. They need to be gutted and have all of the abuse negated, but we cannot just leave people to starve to death that cannot help themselves.

But that’s not the topic of this debate. Having the DESIRE to help your fellow man when he’s down does not make you a pussy.
