I believe in helping people when they need it, but I believe it shouldn't be forced, i.e. higher taxes for universal health care.
If I'm allowed to keep more of my money, then I would have more in order to help.
As for the bailout, which seems to be a part of what Williams is writing about, I don't want my tax dollars going to help idiots who made stupid business decisions. That's really all it seems to be. If they tank, it's their own fault.
