While I like the tone of the article, I think various answers to this question: "Can a moral case be made for taking the rightful property of one American and giving it to another to whom it does not belong?" would make for an interesting discussion.

I'd argue that we all voluntarily (in a way) subscribe to a net-social-good system that subjects us to the whim of the majority vis-a-vis taxes. So its not so much a taking as a giving. In some ways, we are merely giving to ourselves (with a 30% inefficiency-of-government markup)!

That said, turn that argument around. Is there a moral case to be made for accepting the property of another American to whome is did belong? Democrats, children, old people, medicaid/medicare abusers, junkies-in-rehab, well-fed-prisoners, and the rest of you welfarites, ya listening? Speak up now or forever refuse my aid. You don't deserve it. Of course, I don't want none of that nohows anyway.

Hello
