"[Libertarian government would say:] We protect you from aggressions against your rights and property but we don't otherwise give you free stuff. You're entitled to your liberties; to engage in private, voluntary charity and commerce, to deal with each other peacefully; to live as you choose so long as you each do no harm to another. But we in government will not rob Peter [tax those we disfavor] to pay Paul [redistribute to those we favour, and in the process increase our power over everyone's life and property and therefore necessarily the size of the government's political bureaucracy]." - Larry Reed
Lawrence W. (Larry) Reed became president of FEE - the Foundation for Economic Education - in 2008 after serving as chairman of its board of trustees in the 1990s and both writing and speaking for FEE since the late 1970s. [http://fee.org/resources/rendering-unto-caesar-was-jesus-a-socialist/ ]

[Quote No.56087] Need Area: Money > Tax
"The empirical evidence today is overwhelming that, as [Charles de] Montesquieu observed two centuries ago, 'Countries are well cultivated, not as they are fertile, but as they are free' [found in his book, 'The Spirit Of the Laws', 1748]. Nations possessing the most economic freedom (and the smallest governments) have higher rates of long-term economic growth and are more prosperous than those that engage in socialistic and redistributive practices. The countries with the lowest levels of economic freedom also have the lowest standards of living. Free countries and their people are the greatest charitable givers, whereas on net balance, socialist ones are decisively on the receiving end. Why is this relevant? Because you can't redistribute anything to anybody if it's not created by somebody in the first place, and the evidence strongly suggests that the only lasting thing that socialist and [tax for] redistributive arrangements do for poor people is give them lots of company." - Larry Reed
