A group may still permit the individual members a certain amount of freedom, but may tax away a large percentage in order to take from one and to give to another. Such heavy taxation is a modified and disguised form of collectivism. The thought of the many who impose the tax may be that they are exploiting the one for the benefit of the many, but it is not difficult to substantiate that they are in error and that they are indeed really hurting themselves. They are the eventual victims of their own covetousness. Until that is understood, covetousness will stand uncondemned and may even be praised in the churches themselves.
Collective sins are no more profitable than private sins.
Violence or coercion by a group against an individual is no more profitable than to permit individual coercion and violence among the members of a society. Both are contrary to the Commandments of God which legislate liberty more than any Constitution men have ever drawn up.
