The moral argument against a wealth tax
"The moral argument against a wealth tax is simple: Your wealth is not a public resource simply because other people are envious of it. If it was earned voluntarily and without violating anyone's rights, others have no moral claim to it."
"The wealth tax is not about economics at all. It’s about envy, destroying billionaires. And it’s about grabbing their power for the government. They want to get rid of billionaires even if it impoverishes the rest of us."
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
