Wealth Redistribution Part Two

The altruist calls compassion a duty of everyone in society. The method for showing compassion for the poor, vulnerable, and underprivileged, however, is to take the productive fruits of those fortunate enough to be successful and give it to those who did not earn it through the use of force, implied or otherwise.

The goal of the altruist is “wealth redistribution”, need proof?

Hillary Clinton:

"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

Barrack Obama:

"We've got to make sure that people who have more money help the people who have less money."

Michelle Obama:

"The truth is, in order to get things like universal healthcare and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more."

"We've lost sight of the fact that we are one another's brothers' and sisters' keepers in this nation. We have to prepare to sacrifice something big for the greater good."

Karl Marx:

“Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the laborer, unless under compulsion from society.”

“If we have chosen the position in life in which we can most of all work for mankind, no burdens can bow us down, because they are sacrifices for the benefit of all…”

Adolf Hitler:

“It is thus necessary that the individual should finely come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of his nation; that the position of the individual is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole…This state of mind, which subordinates the interests of the ego to conservation of the community, is really the first premise for every truly human culture…By this we understand only the individual’s capacity to make sacrifices for the community, for his fellow man.”

Two things are clear hear, 1. The altruist wants to seize a portion of your income. 2. They believe it is one’s duty to sacrifice on behalf of society.

It should be understood that wealth redistribution is a weapon to wage war on certain classes of people but it is also a recipe for destroying incentive in the nation as the more successful cut back on their productive efforts.

However, if one wishes to show his compassion for his fellow man, for society, he is certainly free to do so by his own voluntarily action, perhaps by donating some money to charity or volunteering his time and talents to help others in need. But the collectivized altruistic model calls for every citizen to do his part. But if he chooses not to, for whatever the reason, perhaps he struggles to pay his own bills. The government is empowered by the collective to garnish his wages, put liens on his home, confiscate his property, or even imprison him…And if he resists any of these measures to collect the fruits of his labor, on the behalf of society, the state can physically restrain him or even kill him.

Now ask yourself is this really compassion—Force?

All real rights of man are defined by the right to own property. Without it there can be no other rights. So any new rights, such as the right to welfare or free medical care for example, violate the real rights of men because it imposes a compulsory obligation upon the productive class in society to pay for the services of the unproductive or under-productive, robbing them of their earned property—income. Forcing someone to work on the behalf of someone else is, by definition, slavery. The practice of confiscating the product of one’s efforts is oppression. Therefore any so called right that violates the rights of others cannot by definition be a right.
