Still humans giving to humans. "White rock n roll artists" in your example paid taxes and those taxes benefited everyone.

That is your distinction because you chose to draw the line around all humans. But who is to say that the line shouldn't be drawn around black-people, or just men, or just Christians?

And no, taxes don't just magically benefit everyone. It's actually the point of them, that they are redistributive.
