Larry Elder: Obamacare: Freedom on life support

"A liberal once asked me: 'What should society do about the poor? Is your attitude "just (expletive) them"?' I said: 'Allow me to rephrase your question. Because of someone's plight, is he entitled to money from you?' 'No,' he said, 'but it's the right thing to do.' Yes, a moral, compassionate society cares for those who cannot care for themselves. This is, however, an entirely different matter from using the power of government to take from someone who has, to give to someone who doesn't. The Constitution does not provide that authority. Nor has it been amended to do so."
