Is that a question? Because damn. The lack of empathy or even respect for people's basic humanity is just astounding.
Is it not self-evident that a homeless man's right to be alive and healthy is worth more than my right to the BMW my family could have purchased instead of paying income tax?
There are good arguments to be made about the efficacy of the state vs. growth prompted by a free(r) market in actually achieving that goal, sure, but when you make such a plain insinuation that property is worth more than life... I don't get it. I will never understand the ideological fascination with property rights at the expense of all else.
