Not exactly, that's only true on average across all taxpayers. An individual could still pay in less than they got out. This donation is a way for the guy to make sure he has repaid his share.
This guy sounds like he suffers from a misguided sense of responsibility.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
I imagine this guy sees it as just another welfare program, and thankful as he was to receive it, he was also ashamed to take it. We'd be better off if everyone was so "foolish."
I'm sure the guy did see it as a welfare program. That's why I called him a fool.
