Im not kidding either. I want to make sure everyone has the ability to eat in this country. I want to make sure everyone(including me) has the right to an education(which includes college) and health care.
Collectivism is the only way. human beings are collective by nature. Why? Notice when you're in a group, do you act like a jerk if you dont need them? Most people dont. Social responsibility.
I've never heard a good argument stating that we are entitled to property. Everything we own is a result of many people, without them it cannot exist, and without them it cannot have value. Most libertarians say we are entitled to our property in one breathe, and then claim to support a police force and military based upon taxation. It seems libertarians dont care about property rights... They claim that if we dont provide these things that life would be worse. This proves two things
1) The government is good at providing things
2) You dont actually believe in property rights.
Conclusion: Why not provide more services? Since you dont believe in full-on property rights and believe that some wealth belongs to everyone. The Richest people in the world are respected by libertarians, but they can only make their profits with a functioning government, which requires all of us. Its selfish to think they deserve more of the pie than others do because they NEED the rest of society. Society made it POSSIBLE for them to be rich in the first place.
Although its not logically necessary to tell you to discuss the ideas here, i will. To avoid this topic from getting locked.
What do you think about getting taxed more?
What do you think about the argument I presented? Keep in mind, I didnt make it as detailed as it should be... We all know most people read the topic title and respond.
