SciFiBoy, I doubt that most of the people here who disagree with you dislike your Utopia, exactly (even if maybe there's some disagreement on some small points)... I think the main disagreement is on how you propose to achieve your dream world. Do you want to do it by convincing other people to voluntarily do things a better way? Or do you think that people need to be forced to act the right way, because Utopia is so important to achieve? I'm all for "making the world a better place," and, like I say, I think most people here are too. But the question of the "means" we use to achieve our "ends" is also vitally important to me. |
im not proposing forcing anyone to act in a certain way, am i forcing them to help others via taxation, yes, but that seems fair enough to me, i feel taxation is neccesary as i dont trust rich people and private companies to pay for the education and healthcare of a poor person, so we should make sure that they can get there pay, but give up a fair percentage to help the less fortunate.
does that help?
