Why Does Atheism and Left-Wing Politics Usually Go Together?

So is it just a matter of degrees then? Your country has a limit on when it's no longer willing to force other people to pay for somebody's care, just as I do. I just draw the limit based on whether or not the person is an adult, who entered adulthood (relatively) healthily (and even then, it has to be proven that charity can't handle it, I doubt it can't (where will most of the charity money first go to?)).

Can we look at this more broadly? The libertarians want to scrap a fair amount of government, reducing taxes. It's not just a proposal to reduce some welfare, its a proposal to not take as much money from people, and to not stop people from doing voluntary, consensual things. Look at the taxes (and inflation), are some of them not regressive and harming the poor? If those were eliminated (and money stopped being taken from the poor and middle class and given to corporations) mightn't everyone be better off (except the corporatists and the politicians)? It's not all "stop taking from others to giving them welfare", it's also "stop screwing them (and future generations) over by taking from them".

Yup, you've hit on the problems of trying to run it like an 'insurance' scheme. Its a complicated fix. How to transition exactly? Depends on the current system.

Socieity, Non interest in helping? I disagree. (I do however have a non-interest in being forced to help, and forcing others)

I understand and support the proposal to have the option of euthenisia for people suffering of illnes were a chance of survival is 0 and ending that persons life would result in far less suffering for that individual.
But were are the lines between sanity and insanity? A fit healthy person with no medical issues wants to kill himself? let him? it doesn`t sound reasonable in any way to me.

No locked in syndrome exception? No agonising pain exception?...
