Yes, that's EXACTLY what left leaning voters think.
The actual position is that many people believe a large amount of money pooled for a collective good is better than distributing the same amount in negligible sums for individual benefit. I think it's possible to have an honest and intelligent debate around that position, and I can see compelling cases being made for both sides. Your strawman argument, on the other hand, has no place in this thread.
Nobody here (except those who wish to purposely distort the position of others with whom they disagree) has ever said that people "can't be trusted with their own money".
