They *really* worry about the weak and the poor. But only to the extent of forcing other people to help. You'll very rarely see them helping these people themselves, through charity and donation. They'd rather go to a voting booth to steal from their neighbors by proxy. They're so humanitarian and thoughtful.

here is a thought experiment that illustrates what you said:
imagine that when filing your taxes you could pay for example 15% tax rate... but there was a checkbox "I want to participate in all the cool social programs"... which would make your tax rate 30%.... how many would select that checkbox? I would wager, nearly everyone would not...
so why is it that everyone is forced to participate in socialism, even though if given the choice they wouldn't?
