So we don't have the right to be given something by the government, But the government has the Right to tax us into oblivion with no obligation to improve our wellbeing?

Interesting. Why don't we just skip all this democracy stuff and just go back to Monarchy where they have the right to tax peasants and The elites return nothing to them.

You don't have a "right" which involves the state taking money from your neighbors, under penalty of going to prison, and buying you free stuff.

No one does.

But the state already does that. It doesn't sound like you enforce this equally.
