Terms like common decency and backbone are words used in place of payment to dupe/guilt people to work for the benefit of someone else without fair compensation. You don’t need to use emotional arguments to get someone to do something they are paid fairly to do.

Theft is an economic issue. I shop in stores without armed guards everywhere because I don’t live in an area with an massive level of income disparity like San Francisco.

Terms like common decency and backbone are words used to describe how we should all be. People branding anything promoting social and personal responsibility for the public good - as negative, are typically part of the problem rather than the solution. Why didn't you go a tiny bit further and say "dog whistle"?

I'm not really sure what you're talking about. Fix economic problems is my position, leave subjectives like decent and should to philosophers.
