I’m not saying public property is sacred. I’m not saying private property is sacred either. But security of private property is a big deal and shouldn’t be messed with for reasons that are too incoherent to be called an argument. Far better to increase the corporate tax rate than to just take people’s stuff. We can adjust the tax rate up and down. The government messing with property rights is a lot more durable. You can destroy a lot of trust very quickly and it takes a long time to build it up again.
