The Church teaches that the right private property is not absolute. If you have an abundance and someone else has nothing, you are stealing from the man that has nothing.

Where, exactly, does the Church teach that having more than you need is stealing? I think there’s a possibility you’re confusing the Catholic Catechism with Das Kapital.

When you look at who actually pays most of the taxes, I say it is not fair by any way you want to stretch that word.

It is not much of a stretch to assume that those who have benefited the most from society should be the ones who pay the most for it. It is still a matter of opinion.

Benefitted? Hmmmmm no work was involved? They were just lucky at the lottery of life?
Jealousy is not attractive!

So if I work hard, 100 plus hours a week to build a business, you say you can take my money because I am benefitting from the system not my own hard work? That’s just ridiculous

It is quite arrogant to think that through our own individual merits we actually deserve all the blessings that fall unevenly across humanity.

Its arrogant to suggest those who work hard for what they have don’t deserve it!

There are people who work 100 hours a week under terrible conditions and they earn less than a more fortunate person who works 40 hours a week in a plush office. You cannot assume that everyone who is rich got that way by enduring more hard work than the rest.

You cannot assume that everyone who is rich didn’t get it from hard work. In my example i was referring to a business owner, not the employee. I feel you are jealous of the rich, like most democrats , and you feel you have a right to confiscate their money. Just my feeling on this.
