I get and understand where you're coming from. Charity is a more organic way of sending help to where it needs to go, if only people would donate to charity and not hoard wealth.
My viewpoint has changed as I've aged. I could theorise a utopia where taxes are voluntary and private property rights enshrined in the unwritten social contract, or I could be pragmatic and work with what we have. I am of the opinion most do not follow what yourself or myself would want. It's better to resolve current problems than try and reinvent things and create new ones.
