If we are sympathetic to our neighbours we will own only a modest quantity of land

The Government should not be a charity.

The aim of the Government should not be to help the poor, only to protect rights and perhaps to discourage the rich from owning too much property. It is a form of protection, and a defence of natural rights to enable resources to be made available at a cheap price. If land is too expensive the Government is able to tax landowners (not too much!) so that prices will fall. A tax on land is a justified intervention into the market as it would protect poor people. We can only reasonably use force if there is a good outcome.

It is a type of crime to fail to leave enough resources for the rest of the community. If in this way, we are selfish then we have committed a form of crime as it demonstrates a failure to be sympathetic to our neighbours.
