My neighbor? Yes I would. If he wants to borrow some sugar for some Kool-aid then not a problem at all. If he sends the police to my house to collect some sugar for himself then I'd have a problem.

If your "society" is so superior morally to ours then why is there a need to use the policing power of government, backed up by men with guns willing to violence on its behalf to take the money from people? If your society is such a moral society that cares about everyone then wouldn't people just give out of the kindness of their hearts?

My guess is that per capita American citizens GIVE more of their money to other people, countries, etc than Canada, Europe, or even devout communists/socialists. I think I remember seeing a stat that showed personal donations from Congressional leaders with the evil Republicans in the lead of most donations.
