You're quoting Rob Roy.
Do you actually know anything about him?
I'm guessing not because, anyone who does know anything about him, would never use his words to support any kind of values.
He was a traitor, a murderer and a thief.
He took money from Lowland Scots and English to spy on his Highland brethren and any French who arrived
and he took money from the French to spy on the Lowland Scots and the English.
And asking the government to help out societies poorest by taxing the wealthiest is called advanced civilisation.
The richest can afford to help
The poorest cannot afford to lose the help.
It is THAT simple
And the only people who cannot see the obvious truth of this statement are either stupid, greedy or both.
