With regard to charity/redistribution/etc., here is what struggle with. Two questions, one moral, one rational.

How does it serve my loved ones for me to expend resources that I have acquired on random strangers? Why should I place the interests of anyone above those whom I care about? How am I a better person for depriving those who have helped, cared for and loved me in favor of those who have not?

How does society or man in general benefit from subsidy of failure? What is the rational argument for investing in the least fit? Is it wise to dilute the mean?
