Poor you.

Is working not voluntary either? Were you forced into a high-paying job by someone? It continually baffles me how people seem to think that they don't have a choice. You choose to work and choose to pay taxes on the money you earn, you just like to have a whine about it sat in front of your iMacs and iPhones whilst shaking your first angrily at all that tax you was (not) "forced" to pay on them.

You could vote with your taxes. Stop paying their wages, but of course people don't want to do this as they don't want the possible discomfort because you want your cushy little life and lots of money and nice things. I don't think you can have it both ways.

Take a step back and read this again.

You're saying it's fine to steal from someone just because they've decided to work and better their life. Is that a morally defensible position?

Again, what's the alternative? To live, you either earn an income, or you take from others. You seem to be advocating the latter.
