I think we should soak the rich as a matter of principle, regardless of any effects on the budget etc. It should simply not be the case that some people have wildly more power than others, and money is how we express power in a capitalist society.

I believe the things I believe because I think they're the best things to believe (acknowledging my imperfect knowledge, potential for errors, etc). If I thought something else was better than what I believe, I would update my beliefs towards that. If you don't think your beliefs are better than the alternatives, you don't actually believe in them.

So yes, I think my goals are the best possible goals to want.
