I don't accept the implied premise that it's OK to take things by force to facilitate my life of luxury. Just as I wouldn't steal, rob, murder to get what I want, nor do I approve of this being done on my behalf. I think it's quite scary that most otherwise mild-mannered people don't have a problem with this through the abstraction of democracy. In particular I am surprised at you canis, and I hope I'm being levelled. National defense is one thing, securing economic dominance on the battlefield is quite another.
