Obviously, we have a philosophical difference of opinion regarding the role of a just government. Simply speaking (no pun intended) I believe our system is obligated to promote the "common good" while honoring the rewards available to those who earn proportionately more than those who earn less(as likely happens in a capitalistic economic system). The only way to prevent the wealth gap from going amok is to have sensible regulations.
Unbridled capitalism is worse than atheistic communism. Greed is a powerful motivator.
The common good includes health assurance, education subsidies, environmental protection, and equal protection of our constitutional rights.
