Fundamental Values

It is not possible to rationally consider that the people arguing for re-distributive social justice will be the same people protecting your property rights. To believe otherwise is naive, at best. Your right to property is as fundamental as your right to life. One is the outgrowth of the other.

A Government which does not respect your property, does not respect your life. A Government which seeks to confiscate some of your property to give to another, has declared that they seek to confiscate some of your life. And, that the recipient's life is valued more highly.

Government-coerced welfare is not the moral equivalent of charity.

Think about that.

What do you think it means to protect a property right?

Yeah, it's the moral equivalent of theft.

How do you have a civil society without property rights?
