Again what I'm talking about has nothing to do with the government and everything to do with the people, you cannot force people to do anything. That's what a socialist program tries to do, give to everyone even though not everyone is interested in reciprocating or abiding by the rules.

Aside from that, the idea of Reciprocal Altruism and simple Altruism are very different.

You keep putting ideas and words in my mouth, that's not arguing, that's being delusional.

My age is in my profile anyway, it's not a secret, besides I used the qualifier 'most' when I was speaking from my experience as a young person.
