But it does have to do with you?
All of this affects the world you live in, the world that you interact with directly every single day. The house you live in, the wage you're paid, the food you eat, the medicine you receive, everything in your life depends on other people. Whether you agree with the way your government is handling this or not, it all still has everything to do with you.

Yeah man, like, butterfly effect, you know?
Rather more direct when they're taking my money to do so. This isn't an abstract "ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee" scenario, and the alternative is not personal autarky. OP is proposing a direct transfer, from me to a stranger, to which I am opposed, and therefore one which must be imposed by force. The alternative is not imposing such a transfer. Cut a check yourself if you think it's a good idea. Bullshit about the universal brotherhood of man and unity of the volk does not excuse arbitrary impositions.
