The free market does not provide <i>forcible</i> wealth redistribution.<p>Most Government social services are not designed to be efficient wealth redistribution and nothing more. They do other stuff like get involved with medicine or retirement. There is no good reason for that.<p>Even if you advocate forcible wealth redistribution, that is no justification for most Government social services. It'd only be justification for having one single program that gives no-strings-attached money to poor people straight out of the federal budget.<p>I think taking people's money by force is bad.
