I don't understand what you are asking. I am perfectly fine with paying taxes for any purpose in the Constitution. Being taxed for forced charity/redistribution is not in there...nor is it moral in any way.
Avoiding work and receiving social welfare is essentially theft. Taxing people (taking their money) to redistribute to others that did not earn it is the same. Theft...if not essentially slavery.
A slave's time/work product is owned by others (without consent). My salary was essentially a return for giving up a good portion of my time/life (@16 hrs a day 5-7 days a week). If I do not own my time or the product of it (it is redistributed against my will to others without them providing any value to me in return) ...I am essentially a slave. The recipients are much more like free men than I... They (or at least the government) ...are essentially my owner (because they own the product of my life/time).

"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money"
Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
