Voluntary charity is always an option for you. Don't most people mean mandatory, state-controlled taking from you to give to someone else when discussing this subject? Would you support "measurably reducing" my income so you don't get robbed? So I don't get robbed?
- aninhumer 10y agoYes I (and probably the parent) mean mandatory state-controlled taxation. Yes we support measurably reducing both of our incomes so neither of us get robbed. And yes I support doing so against your wishes if a majority of society votes for it. If you object to that, please make that argument instead of just asking rhetorical questions.
- TACIXAT 10y agoAbsolutely. I had a computer and internet access growing up, now I have a high paying computer job. A lot of people did not and do not have that. I'm happy taking from someone who is making a decent income and giving it to those who are not. A lot of my coworkers have the opinion, "Ok, you donate but don't tell me what to do with my money." They'd love to privatize roads, just live on their land and forget all else. It's silly though, we're in a society, the people at the bottom support the people at the top. The people at the bottom don't have the same opportunity as the people at the top. Give me the chance and I'd be a benevolent dictator and rather than give computer guy a chance to own a Tesla, make sure no one at the bottom knows what hunger is.
