	<description>The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger).  The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.</description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve always been inclined to word it this way:

&quot;As human beings, we have an obligation (in charity) to support others.  Providing necessities such as food, shelter, and healthcare are primary obligations.  The principal secondary obligation is to provide others with the education and/or means to acquire such goods for themselves, if at all possible.&quot;

The key phrase is &quot;obligation in charity,&quot; which we all innately understand.  

Now &quot;providing&quot; implies (first) a giver and (second) a receiver.  But &#039;rights talk&#039; implies that the reciever is first.

That ordering, unfortunately, does not consider the means of the provider.  So what should be &quot;in charity&quot;  now becomes &quot;required by law&quot;.

We can easily agree that some people are simply not charitable, and that some efforts of the State necessarily require tax effort (defense, roads, public order.)

That&#039;s not perfectly worded, but it&#039;s a start, I think.]]></description>
