Default Re: Do two wrongs make a right?

I think 99% of the evil in today's world is committed under the belief that what's being done is not evil.

An example is taxation. Those who support taxation truly believe that able-bodied hard-workers have a moral duty to share the fruits of their labor with lazy and/or unskilled people. To the extent that the haves don't give at a level of X in the form of Y to the have-nots, they are being evil and deserve to be punished by having their wealth taken at the point of a gun, according to taxation supporters.

What is evil to you and me is justice to a large percentage of the population. This is the key issue IMO and not whether evil acts can lead to good or not.
