First of I must say that I find death to be the ultimate form of loss of freedom.
In my POW there is a scale of freedom that goes like this:
Absolute Freedom -> Wealth -> middle class wealth -> annoying lack of
money ->
Powerty -> inability to feed one self properly -> No food at all -> Death
Therefore I find it is fair to steal money from those who has "wealth" and "middle class wealth" to help those who has "powerty" or less.
"Making the rich 2% unhappier to make the poor 200% happier"
When that is done I also believe that ultimately those people should be able to feed themself. Therefore I find it to be a good idea to steal even more money from the more wealthy, to give the poor a free education. Then they will become a productive part of society and there will be an ROI that will benefit all of the society.
The educated mind is the greatest raw material there is.
Economics is a win win scenario, and taking money away from the wealthy and investing them in other peoples education/helping the poor can eventually make the wealthier even wealthier as society as a whole becomes wealthier and the newly rich start spending their money.
I think this is obvious from watching history. I would rather be poor and unemployed today in Denmark than I would want to be King Richard of England :-)
btw. I am considdered to be right wing here in Denmark :-)
