Taxation hurts people the most well off, the least. The fact that '65%' of people support something, shows we don't need government to do anything because people already favor it. It also shows how society recognizes that the poor are already helped, and thats why I pay a lot in taxes and the government spends so much. Taxation is force, so the state doesn't earn their money by producing something valued in society, they take by force from the producers. There is no incentive for a man who steals all his money to be frugal, because if it goes bad he'll just steal more (tax more, print more money, increase national debt); as opposed to a charity that has to convince people their money is going to a good cause and being spent effectively. (the very reason why the U.S. economy is less wealthy as the state powers grow). There will also be no political rulers coming in between a poor person and their desire to work somewhere, buy something, or talk to someone who is willing to assist them. Not to mention all the resources governments destroy in wars would be accessible for homes for the needy (just one example of misallocation of resources). An anarchic society would not set those artificial barriers, or grant corporations rights of 'eminent domain'.
Government rulers are the cause of the distribution issue the world faces. People want to produce goods and be able to exchange with as many people as possible which widens their opportunities for friendships, experience and choices. The fact that we have obese people in the U.S., and starving people across a body of water, is because our government controls exports with the Import Export Banking Regulations. Embargo's keep us from informing oppressed people, and allowing them access to technology that can give producers and charities the knowledge of where goods are in demand. NAFTA is an example of how unless the government authorizes trade, it can not be legally established. Its the artificial lines drawn by state rulers however many years ago, and the mindset people have that 'these people's opinions and rules must be obeyed', that stops other countries from being fed.
Also, with that many consumers, you also have that many people who can come up with ideas to exchange and work to produce those goods necessary for life; along with the 98% of the world that is uninhabited allows the many more resources to be used as effectively as possible.
In short, we know when corporations use governments to rule, people starve; and this is a continuum seeing as how when business gets bigger governments grow and people are more likely to starve. (North Korea, USSR, Vietnam, Indo China, etc.). The best hope we have is that people value human life enough to work towards allocating resources to those in need, while understanding- when you have rulers, there are no rules.
Hope this helps, please post or email me if you have any comments.
