Why help anyone?

This is my answer to the question that was originally posted on the internet.

Q. Why is it anyone's responsibility other than themselves to fix their life? To do so would require public funds (taxes). Taxation is theft so in reality, stolen income from producing citizens would be taken under threat of force then redistributed to those not producing.

A. Because many people are incapable of fixing their own lives and need the assistance of someone else. A person in a wheel chair needs someone else to push it. A person who is deaf needs someone to sign for them. A person who is blind needs a shoulder to lean on. This is why we have a society so we can help each other. So the more fortunate can share their good luck with the less fortunate, or needy, and the entire group can prosper together.
