Ideological response: Police are the thugs that rich people buy to defend themselves from the poor.

Actually, basic income / negative income tax is a very good idea, much better than welfare schemes of almost all kinds - it has almost no administration overhead. Charity, like you advocate, has huge amounts of overhead. Milton Friedman was an advocate, for example, and he was hardly a socialist.

And the idea that charity comes from goodness? That is utter bullshit. It's 95% social signalling. Altruism doesn't exist.
