Liberals love to say things like, “We’re just asking everyone to pay their fair share.” But government is not about asking. It is about telling. The difference is fundamental. It is the difference between making love and being raped, between working for a living and being a slave. The Internal Revenue service is not asking anybody to do anything. It confiscates your assets and puts you behind bars if you don’t pay.

Thomas Sowell, Forbes, July 1994 (via primal-libertarian)

Paying a fair share is a popular quotation of left-leaning Christians, often citing the early church as an example. Yet a very smart friend of mine wisely notes, “Christianity [or even simple generosity] says ‘What’s mine is yours’ while socialism says, ‘What’s yours is mine.’”
