Walter Williams on Taxes

A few weeks ago, you were suggesting that someone who was in a vegetative state had some sort of right to kept on life support. (Can't remember the details.) I remember thinking at the time, but not posting, that you clearly think there should be some sort of safety net, because you were saying that this person had the right to continuing medical treatment at other people's expense. (Effectively enslaving them, by your reasoning.) From there to welfare is only a question of degree (or, per Churchill, price), no?
