Your point was that if majority says something is good it is good and if majority says something is bad it is bad, which is not the case. There are plenty of examples where majority said that something is good and it was bad (genocides, oppression of minorities etc.) and when majority said something was bad and it was not (“witches”, science etc.).

My point was that you can’t use “majority thinks so” as a definition of what’s moral and what’s not.

I think taxation is evil, you don’t, we can talk about it and try to come to an agreement or agree to disagree, but our feeling on the matter don’t change the the facts that taxes are taking away sovereignty from an individual, that they are abused by politicians for the benefit of their families and friends, that they give unfair advantage to large corporations and stifle competition, that at the end of the day taxes are payed by workers and consumers and their biggest beneficiaries are banks and corporations…

You are free to think that everything I listed is good, but i’d appreciate if you told me why you think so.
