That being said, this is for people who -want- to die, not those who die due to malnutrition or outright starvation. I believe the case that people be allowed to die of malnutrition and/or starvation would only be ethically acceptable if there simply wasn't enough wealth in the world to feed everyone. This is definitely not the case.
Because you think people should be forced to be charitable with their hard earned money.
This, I believe, is your biggest mistake. You think that most money is created by the sweat of someone's brow. In truth, -all- money is created by the banks or the government. In the U.S., I have heard that the "Federal" reserve creates around 95% of all money, the government's minting of bills creating the other 5%. I haven't been able to track down a source to verify this, but I have found a source that states that in the U.K., their banks create about 97% of their money supply, so the U.S. banks creating 95% sounds about right. Here's the source for that:
How Banks Create Money - Positive Money
You talk about disliking subsidies. How does it make you feel that the banks essentially produce 95% of the money supply and then loan it out at interest? Compared to the banks, any other fraud is chump change.
