If person A has an item of value, and person B is willing to buy it, who the fuck is person C to intervene?

itt free market capitalists are demanding restriction of trade for poor (black) people.

I'm all for them using the food stamps they're given however they think they should be used. For example, someone smart and sufficiently driven could use that money to get themselves back on their feet faster than many of the programs can that are currently in place.

I'm against having money stolen from me at threat of gunpoint and given to poorly executed programs that can easily fund lottery ticket and drug habits.

If person A has an item of value that was stolen from person C at threat of violence, and person B is willing to buy it, who the fuck is person C to intervene?

So is everyone, dude.

You keep insisting that paying taxes is somehow antithetical to your freedom, but I don't see it. I don't see any example of a gov't on the scale of the USA which doesn't collect taxes.
I don't see any viable alternative which doesn't replace humans with unicorns.

You don't think it matters that Person C is the one paying?

Or what if Person C kept his mouth shut and then later Person B turned around and said "That's not enough, give me more". Surely you would empathize with Person C's complaints then?
