You didn't answer the question. Why is their right to property more important than someone else's right to life? From what you're saying, taxes are an abomination and any government that taxes people should not exist. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but if a government doesn't tax people, it can't do *anything.*

Taxes are an evil, but they are an utterly necessary one and far preferable to letting people die just because a few selfish people can't be arsed to pitch in a few dollars.
