Your impossible praise of altruism speaks mountains of you, but what says even more is your desire, or lack thereof, to force us all to become altruistic
The altruist is a fool, the socialist is an evil fool.

Taxation is not theft - it is a forced exchange at worst. In return for being forced to give the State money, you are given goods and services in return - the NHS, an army to defend you from foreign invasion, a transport infrastructure, benefits system, and so on.
You may argue that you do not use these services - but they are still there for your use, regardless of whether you take advantage of that or not.
My praise of altruism is based on morality. Your view of reality is despicable - would you really do nothing to help another person? Are you really that selfish?
