RE: REBUTTAL to "No it’s not your money: why taxation isn’t theft"

What I find rather ironically entertaining about folks with this kind of reasoning, is that they have no problem purchasing things like Kim Kardashian's "Kimoji" keyboard or overpriced "fashion" items...thereby hypocritically contributing their own money to swell the incomes of people whose incomes are "many [millions] of times the pre-tax income of scientist working on a cure for cancer", but somehow that's okay with these social justice seekers.

Ok then.....

There is no justice in the fact that the pre-tax income of a City banker is many hundreds of times the pre-tax income of scientist working on a cure for cancer. This is just an accident of the way our market economy is structured.

I distinctly remember my pastor, 24 years ago, asking during a sermon: "Why is gold more valuable than popcorn?" (Of course the mention of food got my attention.)
