Mandatory charity is by definition not charity. It's a form of forced labor.

Charity: n. the voluntary giving of help, typically in the form of money, to those in need.

Please have a better argument than semantics and proper English usage. Everyone knows what I am talking about.

Also, if this is forced labor, so if mandatory tax filing, mandatory Obamacare ETC.
