The state is morally bankrupt, but an individual complaining about an insignificant fraction (compared to the amount spent on bombs) of money used to help a sick person is not?
- Consultant32452 7y agoI only stated my help comes with strings attached. I'm happy to pitch in for your insulin, but not if you're still drinking soda. I'm happy to be on the organ donor list. But if you're still drinking, you don't get my liver. That's an entirely different discussion from whether or not violent coercion can ever be a moral good, whether or not power is fungible, etc. If the state threatens to throw you in a cage if you don't buy my insulin, and then you buy my insulin, it doesn't make you a good person.
