OAC appeals to the instinct of shared sacrifice. "Let's all sacrifice some of our liberty to ensure no one is left behind" It's a useful instinct in small villages of 180 closely related people. It does not work for countries constituting 300 million people with very little linking them together. First pragmatically: social democracy has tremendous adverse effects on economic growth. The poor are better off with less redistribution and a higher rate of recurring economic growth. This can be demonstrated mathematically, no matter what our gut instinct may say. Second, as a matter of principle, we do not have a moral right to force others into this shared sacrifice pact, simply on the basis of shared nationality. Billionaire or not. People may claim billionaires amidst poverty is immoral. I think it's far more immoral to violate the principle of voluntarism and force people to sacrifice alongside us.
