There’s so much to address in this comment. Suffice it to say, as I stated in the piece, need is not a moral claim. That’s how the Left has gained ground over the past 100+ years, by appealing to our sense of altruism and demanding sacrifice. However, sacrifice is inherently immoral, trading a greater value for a lesser one, a destructive exchange.
I take issue with the notion that we are responsible for consoling the unemployed, lest they riot. There is no circumstance under which the initiation of force – said rioting – is appropriate. It is THEIR responsibility to behave like men, not mine to placate them like boys.
I recognize that we likely agree more than we disagree, and that your heart is in the right place. But I can’t stress enough how dangerous it is to embrace need as a moral claim.
As for the burrito reference, it’s a direct reference to a real situation. I understand your concern, but tend not to yield to irrational controversy. Let the accusations fly.
