And we were talking about the recipients' "rights" because you invoked property rights. The government's right to the money derives from the consent of the governed and the legitimacy of the legislation and process under which the money is taxed. Being adults, we understand that in order to have a government, we have to pay taxes.

The consent of the governed is not a moral justification.
