The post you are reporting:
In response to the first four points, I believe the imposition of such laws, rules or taxes would be perfectly valid, as long as they were in the interest of the people they represent. (Something both the present and previous government have seemed to have forgotten)
As for the rest of your examples I don't think any of them to immoral, yet regard them as 'choices' applicable to those who already 'have' Now I don't believe people are all the same or equal (I'm very careful of that term because I don't want to sound like Mrs Thatcher, although it is a basis for her ideology) When I talk to my wife about equality between males and females I always points out the fact that she has a womb puts me at a loss! What we can have is an equal playing field, neither of us being better than the other. My wife does not earn as much money as me because she looks after our children full time, but this does not change the equality in what we do.
The point I am making (albeit in a roundabout way!)is that although I earn money it is more important that it facilitates something that is far more important, offered by my wife that as far as we're concerned has no capital value (I am very fortunate and to an extent lucky). This is about want and need and people are avoiding paying into a system that attempts to provide things that don't necessarily have a quantifiable value. There are people in this country, who through no fault of their own have nothing, born into poverty and have very little chance of changing their 'luck' Then we have those on the privileged side of the laffer curve moaning about paying in too much whilst deciding between salmon or steak, and suggesting poor people are just lazy. Once these unacceptable inequalities in our (supposedly civilised) society are addressed, then I will start accepting the idea people making their own destinies.
As society changes morality changes and perhaps I am completely wrong already. I just think choice at a fundamental 'need' level is far important than at a capital 'want' level. Unfortunately living in a capitalist society (as a far left approach is equally impractical) these 'wrongs' in our country need money to right them, and means taxation and legislation, not every man for himself. The things that require intervention do not have a financial value (the more important things I think) and so will always confuse true capitalists. This I see as the failing of popular capitalism, looking at the cost of everything and the value of nothing. (I nicked that last line from Tony Benn!)
