I might have expressed myself in a confusing manner. Apologies. All I meant to convey was that the current system (by 'the left') seems better in comparison to what could be. I should have specified that no taxes would (most likely) lead to no 'free' health-care but your point about charity does stand.
Yes yes, people are free to do as they please. Yet society imposes some restrictions upon people. In my example of taxes & health-care I wanted to convey that paying taxes is an restriction of freedoms in exchange for assurances/help in the future. That is a restriction of freedom that I'm fine with. But it is obviously up for debate where does the 'line' stand. (how much of your freedoms will you give up for in exchange for X)
