Redistribution = Legalized Theft

Here’s another short yet thought-provoking video from Redshift Media, the same people who created “Edgar the Exploiter.” “George Ought to Help” is a simple yet very effective illustration of the ultimate immorality of coercive “entitlement” programs ~
 

 
One caveat ~ the video’s proposed alternative to statism – “Stateless Society” – isn’t going to work. Its underlying worldview is atheism, which presupposes self-interest and generates no altruistic tendencies. It provides no philosophical basis for philanthropic activities.
 
Might I suggest a much more appropriate/effective worldview?
Rather than “non-agression,” “voluntaryism,” or “libertarianism,” Christianity has a good term for helping the “Olivers” of the world – it’s called “charity.” And it actually used to work pretty well… when we were a Christian nation.
