- wedn3sday 7y agoForcing the wealthy to help the poor is how we avoid a surge in the guillotine construction industry. Governments use the threat of force all the time to make people perform pro-social actions, if I park in a handicap zone I get a ticket. What is that ticket besides the threat of force if I dont pay it? What is any contract between any two parties besides a threat of force? On a fundamental level the government exists to threaten force against rich people in order to help poor people, which allows those poor people to go on living and not take up arms to take what they need from the wealthy.
