I can appreciate this line of thinking. I'm willing to endorse this philosophy. But only if it's not enforced on me. I'll take care of my family. I make enough to "employ" my children to pursue their passions. I'm unwilling to provide support for total strangers to just live lazily. Someone else who's single and making good money wants to supports this system? Excellent, he can donate to (or found perhaps) an organization designed for supporting it.
There's no reason either of us in this example should be compelled to support those we are not willing to support. The major difference is that he can create a non-profit foundation to contribute to (and gain a tax break) and I need to form a for-profit business (in the US one cannot create a non-profit for the sole benefit of one's own family.)
