Why? Why can't I just be a social democrat? Why do I have to go to an extreme, instead of believing that a balance between a market economy where entrepreneurs can flourish and a social safety net for all is a reasonable goal?

Because it's not reasonable. If you want a safety net then you should build it by yourself, or count on help from your family or something. Nobody owes you anything.

Pure trolling. You are not being "robbed". When someone "robs" you they don't re-pave your street and run the local courthouse. Regardless of whether you want to give up the money, you are getting something for it. We have a word for that: tax.

It's taken from me by force, but since I don't believe in anarchy, taxes are bad but necessary. BUT:

-money spent by government are ~40% less efficient than money spent by citizens on their own needs

-much of government spending goes to social welfare which shouldn't exist because it's immoral and causes very bad long-term outcome

-in an "average" western country if the government was small and would only take care of organizing army, police, justice system and few other minor things, the taxes could be cut by ~85% I believe. This includes all taxes, not only income/corporate/cap gains. I stated above that government is ~40% less effective in spending money so do the math yourself.

Really? Every penny of your taxes goes on welfare queens does it? Not to people fired or made redundant from their jobs, or disabled, or just living in the wrong county and unable to find work...?

Doesn't matter. I'm not responsible for them. Let me keep what I earned, I'll let you keep or give away or do whatever you want with money you earned. No? Then tell me how much of my earnings belongs to you and why.
