You are a thief. Advocating taking one's property to give to another is thievery, you promote it, thereby your a thief.
DrB.: I question someone's right to have large amounts of wealth, at least, in certain cases. If you read Plato's
Laws, it was clear that he was against the redistribution of wealth. But he does assert that there must be caps on income. It's not entirely clear that Aristotle disagrees in the
Politics: he asserts that in the well-ordered state, there are very few disparities in income, prestige, etc.
In St. Augustine (one of the latter books of De Trinitate), we find that the soul ultimately sins in preferring the private to the common.
In the doctrine of the Catholic Faith, we find that goods have a universal destination for all mankind, and we see sentiments like this in St. Thomas Aquinas.
The idea of this supremely holy right to every possession that comes my way without question simply doesn't arise until fairly recently in history (John Locke and Adam Smith, I believe).
It's certainly not a Christian or a Jewish conception.
Note, I'm not asserting anything Communist (I don't think that private property must be abolished). But I do think there is a limit on what legitimately can be called "mine."
