Interesting argument.

There is a balance to be struck between infringing on my rights and liberty and the needs of society. They are necessarily in conflict. I pay indirectly for every injustice, perceived or real. In this case I deny its necessarily a real injustice.

For example, somebody whom circumstance has left them without the means of helping themselves, I have no problem helping. That is a real injustice. In contrast, a meth'd-out freak with failing health is a perceived injustice.

Why should I be forced to pay for that portion which is a perceived, not real, injustice? That is not justice for me. That is involuntary servitude.
