Of those to whom much is given, much is required. With great power comes great responsibility. There are many ways to say it, but the point is that those who have profited the most are the people who are most in debt to society, and they have a moral imperative to give back.

We live on a finite planet with limited resources, and those who would hoard them are morally wrong. Gluttony does not just apply to food. It would not have been possible for the rich to acquire their wealth without using the infrastructure that was paid for by the people of the nation.

You may see Bernie Sanders policies as "theft", but I see them as your moral duty. Those who aren't rich are already doing their part. The fact that the rich have been avoided their responsibility does not make it wrong to demand they start fulfilling their end of the bargain.

Source? ... The rich pay more than there fair share of taxes compare to the moochers ( poor ) .... and they create more jobs than the poor and contribute to growing the economy through consumption mkore than the poor.

If anything, the poor owe a lot of rich people for the safety net the rivh have had to pay with a gun to their head

As long as they haord what is theirs and no one else's then they are not worng ... thos who wish to steal under the flase pretenses of "equality" are the truly vil ones

I do not have to see, they are .. all you have to do is say no to government, i will not let you take my money and then the guns come out .. proving once and for all that taxation is theft.

Those who aren't rich are already doing their part.

Asking for government to steal for their handouts is not doing any one service
