Reply To: No Taxation with Representation

You’re making an artificial distinction. You wouldn’t call Buckingham Palace a social program, because it doesn’t benefit society. It is however an example of the proceeds of wealth redistribution in exactly the same way Medicaid is (except that it’s an example of redistribution from everyone but the richest to the richest. It’s precisely as likely that you’ll discover a monarchy that is run without regard for self-interest as it is that you’ll find a democracy that is run that way.

I don’t think you understand my post.

You are understanding it that I think that any system which has a decisor deciding to take money from others for himself passuls the whole system. That is not what I am saying.

I am saying that anyone who decides to take money from others for himself is doing something wrong. So, I think that the 49% in America are doing something wrong by voting themselves benefits. And I oppose them for doing so.
