You heard it here working people and single mothers, if you don't like your job just quit and become a libertarian philosophy professor, like the author! Problem solved.
Seriously this is atrocious. I would expect someone in that profession to question his own unquestioned assumptions, yet he boldly states:
" In our world, though, your income comes from other people. The other people start out with money that belongs to them and that they have no obligation to give to you. Your being morally virtuous doesn’t make them obligated to just give you their money. I assume this as obvious; if you disagree, ask yourself how often you have given someone money just for being virtuous."
that's not our world, that's a videogame. In our world people don't magically start out with money, they inherit a lot of it, and who is to say they have no obligation to give it to anyone else? how often do people give someone money above market rates for expressing virtue? All the time. Ethically sourced food, "Buy American!", sponsor an open source project, religious folks are well aware of the concept of a tithe, and so on.
