How do people ignore the fact that wealth distribution is a violation of property rights?

Question by : How do people ignore the fact that wealth distribution is a violation of property rights?
If the rich is expected to be taxed higher and to have their wealth spread to help the less fortunate, then isn’t that a violation of property rights and freedom of the individual?

It’s easy!

We just don’t put individuals’ “right” to snatch big hunks of the economic product of society for their own, ahead of society’s welfare.

Your “freedom” stops where my right begins to not have to step over the dead bodies in the street from people starved by capitalism.

Not to mention THEIR right not to be killed for profit.
