You cannot reasonably claim a Right to be given a service for free.
Define "free" (nice semantic strawman by the way), because I think parent is quite aware of the fact nothing is "free" in the sense that resources don't magically appear out if thin air.
As there is no such thing as anything for free,
Yes there is, relative to individuals and subgroups, although (sometimes) not relative to the entire economic system. This is like people who refuse to believe entropy can decrease in some physical systems (open ones) just because the entropy of the whole universe inexorably increases.
Also, remember the economy is NOT A ZERO SUM GAME (jeez). Just because somebody gets something "for free" paid with your taxes, doesn't mean you're not winning something in the process too.
what you're really demanding is that the government use force of arms to take from one set of people and give to another.
You mean parent demands the government be, you know... a government? Give some balance to things that are subject to arbitrary events and chance? Anyway, I'm really sorry you are burdened with paying for services such as Police, that you probably don't use that much. I happen to live in a country where people are "forced" to pay towards maintenance of our Fire Departments, and firefighters watching your house burn down and doing nothing because you failed to pay your "Fire Department subscription" or something like that, in a town where people don't think paying taxes for a FIRE DEPARTMENT is worth it (google it) is the stuff of distopian nightmares in fantasy books, not something to look forward to. We all like it that way.
And people wonder why the EU is falling apart financially....
AGAIN with the myth that Welfare is what broke Europe's back...
At this point, why do you guys even bother complaining about Bank bailouts and Wall Street scammers not being in prison? I mean, if you're going to blame the safety net that keeps you from taking a nosedive onto concrete, instead of the Finance Industry guys playing with everybodys money, you might as well just stop complaining and take it up the ass like a man.
I'm always fascinated how Moral Hazard arguments "obviously" apply to Social Safety Nets (which work) but they're only a technicality when we are talking about destructive global financial practices (which don't work).
