It is considered immoral for me to steal from my neighbor Joe in order to send my kids to school, or to paint a picture, or to subsidizemy tobacco crop, so how can it be right for me to do it using the government as my agent? Is it moral just because enough of us vote to take Joe's money for something we want to do? Is this "mob rule" okay for any purpose, or only if it is a "good" purpose? If so, who decides what a "good" purpose is?

it is never alright to steal but it depends on what the circumstances are that led to ur decision if other people do it and u benefit from it then if u were a good neighbor find a way to give it back to him without him knowing
