Regardless of where you stand, that is some garbage reasoning.
The free market pays a banker more than a cancer researcher, therefore government must take from the banker and give to the researcher for... Reasons.
The problem with that is, while the banker has made jobs possible and allowed people to buy houses...a real and immediate value, the researcher hasn't healed a single person.
Then, one day, the researcher finds the cure...and then gets paid more than 1,000,000 bankers put together.
We cannot apply an equal value to "trying to do good" and actually doing good. That's not the way the world works.
I can't eat your good intentions. Nor can they shelter me from the cold.
