Because I want freedom of choice and I don't believe in the government taxation scheme does not mean I want to deprive the poor of entitlements and or government benefits.. but I would like to not subsidize bad behavior with welfare and as well bank bailouts... The "poor" only because a more static class of people when you subsidize them to be that way and when you pick winners in the market with regulation /regulationary capture.. and when you redistribute value with inflation from the wage earning /fixed incomers to the holders of inflationary following assets
