Lets do that excercise "It is immoral for wealth to exist in a way that, properly distributed, would solve the fundamental necessities of people. Thus, wealth should be confiscated until this goal is achieved for morality"

And I answer "the very application of that goal will be immoral because it will take from all and give to all, and will do so unevenly on both ends while also destroy a part of everything levied."

I don't believe anyone in this thread would say, "Yes, that is what I was arguing." I don't believe you do either. Stop trying to jujitsu random passersby in to discussing your preferred topic with you and the downvotes will abate.
