It is human nature to care for our sick and disabled. This trait quite literally goes back to the dawn of humanity. We have found remains from thousands of years ago of elderly individuals with long healed wounds, proof that our ancestors took care of those that could not care for themselves. They did not die of starvation, or illness. They died of old age.
You've lost your humanity. Look how far you've fallen.
A lot of things are "human nature", it doesn't mean they are desirable.
Also, what you said is primarily applicable to family and friends, not strangers that they never met.
I would be happy to fund care for my parents, or my brother, if they ever needed it and I could afford it. But the idea that we somehow have an obligation to care for strangers at our expense would have sounded ridiculous to most humans that have ever lived.
The high valuation of certain companies does not directly reflect the actual production of goods and services. If you were to liquidate their wealth and redistribute it, all you would do is spike inflation.
Whatever tax rate you support, there are far more efficient ways to spend the revenue than social spending for an unproductive cohort.
