It does not mean that I am obliged to share my wealth with any Tom Dick or Harry who has less than I do for whatever reason, whether it is due to laziness or some other circumstance.

Hugo, I don't understand why you'd be mocking her. She understands, just like proverbial 99% of the population, that it's in all of our self-interests for public roads, public transportation, cops, fire departments, etc. I also extend that to *some* areas of public welfare, such as the fact that I don't want to see a single kid go to school/bed without a decent meal.
