So if you're not an objectivist then you must be a socialist? That's a pretty flawed argument, neither system works in the real world.
It's obvious that socialism doesn't work, every pure socialist nation has either moved away from socialism by a large degree, collapsed, or is on the verge of collapse.
As for objectivism it's just as flawed. It's all well and good to say that a man should keep all the money that he has worked hard for and each should rise and fall solely on their own merits, but what happens to that man when he falls?
What happens to the man who's poured his life into the family farm only to have it fail due to drought? What happens to the small business owner driven out of business by the near monopolies some companies have. What about the highly skilled machinist that's suddenly become obsolete due to advances in technology?
The sad fact of the world is that most people who are poor aren't like that because they're lazy or stupid. They're poor because they lack education and opportunities, because of bad luck, because not every job pays in amounts anywhere near equal to the amount of work you do.
Without the money that government takes from you, all the safety nets that have been built into the fabric of society would not exist.
Without public schooling most of the people who have posted in this thread would be illiterate unskilled laborers.
Without Medicare and Medicaid millions would die of easily treated ailments that they simply cannot afford on what they make.
Without unemployment 10% of America would currently be living entirely on what they have saved for the future or would simply be starving in the streets.
Every single service that the government provides or guarantees that YOU use daily, public libraries, safety or health inspections and codes, fire departments, postal service, an almost completely honest system of laws police and courts not to mention court appointed attorneys to defend those who cannot otherwise get representation, road and highway construction and maintenance, even trash pickup.
None of that would exist without the money that YOU believe THEY are stealing from you.
