In your imaginary scenario I guess it is. But sometimes clarity can be better seen at the limits. If it is not fair to take everything over $12,000 why is it fair to take everything over $1 million? I dare say the real answer is you live in the first scenario, but not in the second scenario. So it wouldn’t be your ox that’s getting gored.
And like most liberals you worry about things that are really none of your business. What another person makes has no bearing on your life what so ever. But if someone is making more than some arbitrary limit you want to set, you want to confiscate it.
I was asking to find out if you have a good reason for wanting to limit the success of other people whom you don’t even know. As expected, you don’t, and I doubt you’ve given the matter enough serious though to know why you feel the way you do. To you, your position just “feels” right. What it really boils down to is envy and class jealousy.
