Perhaps you are prepared to let them suffer; I'm not. If it takes tax money to do it, so be it.

I think that this goes to the libertarian argument that if *you* are not willing to let them suffer, there is no reason that *you* shouldn't volutarily sign your paychecks over to the victims of their own stupidity (living in Los Angeles, I'll wear that hat proudly). But because *you* are not willing to let them suffer, does not give *you* the right to forcibly take my money (through taxes) to address your pet charity.
