>The right way to fund national needs is taxation. No absolutes. Sometimes this is true, sometimes not. It feels great, amazing, to give back, to change someone's life with your money. It can feel even better for some people, to give back, to change someone's life, with your NEIGHBOR's money. So you can get people whose existence is to enforce that their neighbor, Peter, shall pay their other neighbor, Paul, and have Paul give them a solid pat on the back for doing them a solid. Peter is unhappy about it. Thusly is the cornerstone of politics. Sometimes this thinking makes sense, sometimes not, usually not in the extremes, of which such people exist.
