I can think of about a million sentiments more offensive than the idea that people who invest should be taxed and that we should have a social safety net.

- rubyfan 11y agoHa, there aren't a million other sentiments in the grandparent comment. No one is arguing the value of the social safety net. The comment goes above and beyond the safety net suggesting it shouldn't be needed and the remedy is redistribution. A safety net is one thing but arbitrarily inflating wages is another. I don't believe the suggested remedy would be proposed by someone who believes in property rights. Further, as a person who believes in property rights I do find the sentiment of theft of property for redistribution offensive.
