    Yes. We do this literally every day. We pay taxes on what we earn to support those less fortunate. We share with food with coworkers and tools with neighbors. We have EMTs, firemen, and SAR who wilfully run into danger to help people they’ve never met. It’s literally the foundation of society.

      If you equate paying taxes with giving up self-preservation, I have no words. If you think being a firefighter means taking deadly chances (and with no pay mind you) at every site we have nothing to discuss.

      This is one of the worst strawmen arguments I’ve seen in a while. Blocked.
