Safety net--at whose expense?

Reader comment on: Disability Nation

None of this is to say that . . .there shouldn't be a government-provided safety net

Okay, but separately, I hope you agree that a government-provided safety net is immoral. "Government provided" means: "forcibly looted from someone."

Anyone who wants to engage in charitable endeavors is free to do so. Just don't point a gun at the head of others and make them pay for it.
