One Percent Hypocrisy

"You know, it occurs to me that the best way you hurt rich people is by turning them into poor people."
--Billy Ray Valentine (Trading Places)

Nice question posed by Tom Woods. Even many of those classified as 'poor' in the US possess more than most people in other parts of the world.


Why shouldn't the Ninety Nine Percent worldwide be entitled to take the property of those better off than them?

Those who believe property should be forcibly taken from those better off from them while at the same time doing all they can to protect their property from the same forcible theft (or abstaining from voluntarily donating their property to those who are less well off for that matter), is one of the world's great hypocrisies.
