Why is it okay to tell me to just go live behind a dumpster if I can't afford to put a roof over my head, but to tell an employer to pay his employees before he pays himself or the shareholders fat bonuses on top of already overly-inflated salaries is just wrong?

I'm not telling you to do anything actually. Our conversation really is going in an unproductive direction. Let me redirect it if I may.

First of all I will state that I am interested in a system that everyone can make at least a bare living. But, please answer my original question.

Why should anybody be forced to provide anything for anyone? This includes businesses, governments, and private individuals.

How is it right to force anyone to provide something to someone else? It's really more of a philosophical question than an argument.
