"Risk of losing your $5M Malibu home to fire is a lot different than losing the single bread winner in a $50K income family of 4 due to sickness "

Great, but how do we leap from: "it is a tragedy" to "it is a cost that must be inflicted upon society"? I do lots of good works and contribute to charities of my choosing. Would it be appropriate for me to tell that because I find my local charity to be worthy of my contribution you must pay for it?
