USA was a democracy also before Abraham Lincoln. Voting to take 50% of regular Joe's income does not make it right, like voting to kill Joe or voting anything that affects Joe, no matter how nice is the "cause" used as an excuse.
- wpietri 7y agoI understand your own quirky morality, but when you live in a society with other people, you'll have to find common ground. I'll note that "50% of regular Joe's income" has an enormous number of hidden assumptions, all of them similarly socially negotiated. So the theoretical purity of your position is mainly an illusion.
