From a libertarian perspective, your generosity is reflected in what you do with your own money, not in what you do with other people’s money. If I give a lot of money to charity, then I am generous. If you give a smaller fraction of your money to charity, then you are less generous. But if you want to tax me in order to give my money to charity, that does not make you generous.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am so tired of hearing Dems talk about being “willing” to pay higher taxes out of so-called generosity. (via sds)
