> involves the forcible expropriation of property If you don't want to live in that society, move somewhere else. That's your free choice, too, but I counsel against it. Are you directly choosing to help maintain roads, and hospitals, and everything else that helps society function? No, but your taxes are. > Is your soul in danger because you own a laptop, or is there more nuance to this issue than you're suggesting? Nuance is lost on you, my friend. If you think that the poor should just be left to their own devices, then you're bound to learn a painful lesson or three in this life. Those with no compassion should be prepared to deal with those who have no compassion for them. Mayhaps you won't realize this until you are left with no other options but enduring the pain of being under the power of people who have no concern for your well-being. I hope you have a kinder fate than that, but you shall reap what you sow, my friend, as we all do, in time. I am explaining these things for your benefit, not mine. You should reach beyond your current perspective and realize that I am only here for your benefit. We love you, and only want you to be happy, too.
