Sharing is voluntary. It stops being a good thing when it's not voluntary. At that point it becomes a bad thing and is no longer "sharing". At that point, it is "stealing".
And how much of a selfish, cruel, petty, immoral, prick does somehow have to be not to voluntarily share with their fellow people? But by all means, tell a mother whose children would be starving or homeless how terrible it is that you have to pay a few more cents in taxes to keep her children alive. I can't imagine being a callous enough person to deny her those few cents. Can you?
Not that I'm agreeing to your distinction. It's just a whiny excuse to mooch off of the rest of us as we build up society and you want to reap the benefits without paying your share. Turns out all that stuff about parasites on society and the poor mooching off the beleaguered rich was just projection. Methinks they doth protest too much.
