"If government can and does exceed the legal limits then it is arbitrary"

So call it illegal, Tim. Don't pretend that legal government is arbitrary. All activity outside of rules and enforcement is "arbitrary". You have no point.

"I define whatever I want as wrong or right."

That is fine, Tim. But it is irrelevant to my post:

"individuals (such as yourself) do not define what is right for the social group"

"by "preventing those who can't work from starving", I didn't mean force feeding them. I meant rather giving them a chance not to starve by making food or money available to them"

So you do believe in forcing people to pay taxes, then?? :-)

"I don't think you believe in hell, and I don't think that someone who will not give away everything they have will face hell"

Well Tim...you are right! I don't believe in Hell! But the bible makes it clear that you must give EVERYTHING if you are to get through the needle...
