It is immoral to take from someone what they earned and give it to someone else just because the former was successful.

It is immoral to demand the fostering of illegal aliens on the citizen of this country.

It is immoral to force a private sector business owner to associate with people he chooses not to.

Public accommodation laws applied to the private sector.

The scaled tax scheme is an abomination.

Collectivism is an abomination.

You (collective) have created a society of helpless dimwits completely dependent on CENTGOV for EVERYTHING.

Progressivism has become a religious cult worshiping at the alter of The State.

And you (collective) congratulate yourselves on the hive mentality.

I could be wrong… but I find that those who rail against public accommodation laws don’t think that their lives would be affected without them.

We are barely a generation removed from the Green Travel Book and sundown towns.

You’re wrong.

And surely you understand that some of us who disagree with you politically find every sentiment expressed in your post to be immoral.

What if you’re wrong?

Just politically? :rofl:

History proves I’m right.

Oh, well I’m glad that’s settled.

Is that difficult for you?

Things change.

“History.”

I didn’t argue that gas taxes are progressive. I argued that progressive income taxes are not unequal. It was an assertion you brought up. There is nothing unequal about progressive income taxes. Everyone is taxes exactly the same when comparing apples to apples.

Would the standard of living be lower or higher if we did not have as strong of a centgov as we do?

I don’t know when it became such a fad to view the federal government as a source of most things evil.

The onus is on whoever makes the claim that “x” is the real moral path. All claimants have the same burden of proof to discharge.

Little wonder, what with them all being rapist and drug dealers.

In Atlas Shrugged John Galt lays down a rule.

“ There is one word that is forbidden in this valley: the word ‘give.’“

Is that a moral statement.

Furthermore acts of Altruism, even if done voluntarily are seen as immoral.

Objectivism’s view of right and wrong are purely transactional. A morality based on lassez-fairs where the highest price wins. Basically flying in the face of centuries of religion and moral philosophy about helping your fellow man and such.

Is that a moral system?

That’s an interesting question.

Sure, insofar as it is a system of principles guiding one’s perspective and actions. Is it a good moral system? Well, that’s the question, isn’t it? And that’s the burden of proof all moral systems must discharge.

Oh, ■■■■■■■■■

Morals are subjective based on the framework in which they are being applied. I agree with IBC, it’s up to the society to define what morals are in line with the aggregate.
