  I find it important to know that people can't take my income just because I am rich or I am perceived to not be a valuable contributor to society. I am not at all rich, but I am a rather spoiled college student funded by taxpayer money in the form of scholarship. (though I actually work for it in the form of grades...but it's still not my money) Even so, I don't want loophole that can be used to take people's property away from them. Once you take property from the rich, you could conceivably begin to take away property from the middle class, and then classes under that until all property are owned by people in power. The rule of law is a very important concept. It's something that I wouldn't want to violate to right perceived unfairness.

      Money are your property. Therefore taxation(taking money by coercion) is a form of property right violation. The Constitution also have another loophole that allow the government to take property for "just compensation". Intellectual property right also violate property right. People do indeed make exceptions. Some are big, and some are small. They just think they are justified. The more exceptions there are, the more people are at liberty to make new exceptions for property right.
