In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Minta doesn't get it

Minta Garcia, a bus driver, and her husband, a construction worker, don't understand economics or finances. You see, Minta and her husband bought a house a few years ago in suburban Washington for $800,000. Somehow, they couldn't figure out that a bus driver and a construction worker can't afford a house approaching $1 million.

She hasn't asked for help, but says she is waiting to see if she qualifies for help from you and I (through the confiscation of our taxes by the federal government). Sorry, Minta, time to move into an apartment and save up for a down payment on a house that a bus driver and construction worker can afford. I'm sure you wouldn't stick a gun in my face to steal my wallet. Then why ask the federal government to do it for you?
