"Wealthy" is a relative term, rather than an absolute one.

Thanks in advance to Cody for accepting this challenge. It was on a forum thread that this issue first came up as a possible debate topic for Cody and myself. Ragnar_Rahl first made the claim that "wealth is absolute", but when I challenged this contention it was Cody who jumped in to defend the objectivist perspective. http://www.debate.org/forums/politics/topic/6124/18/ This is basically a semantics debate, being as it is concerned with what words mean.

Objectivism is not a logically valid philosophy.

Objectivism is... My first more intellectual "real" debate. A bit late but I hope to do more soon. Kantism and "methodological antipositivism" are open [Int=Pro]. >>Intro<< It has arised to me Cody that you are a very smart person, you where right about Objectivism you "couldn't honestly challenge the logic he was setting in front of me[Cody]", why?

•	Abortion	N/OComments Read: Pro on the Right to Abortion
•	Affirmative Action	ConComments It's absurd to reward people by virtue of their race.
•	Border Fence	ConComments As if it helps.
•	Campaign Finance Reform	ConComments No telling people how to spend their money.
•	Civil Unions	ConComments Government interference is bad.
•	Death Penalty	ProComments For murderers, yes. It's not a question of whether it's a deterrent. It's a question of whether or not the right to life has been violated.
•	Drug Legalization	ProComments Drugs can harm people, sure. That's the business of those people who engage in it.
•	Environmental Protection	ProComments It's not a huge priority; but, at the point that pollution becomes harmful to human life, it counts as initiatory force, and has to be cut down.
•	Estate Tax	ConComments It's a tax.
•	Euthanasia	ProComments I'm assuming that euthanasia is referring to an "assisted suicide" type of situation. If that's the case, then it's their right as humans; so long as they're in possession of their rational faculty, anyway.
•	Flag Burning	ProComments It's a piece of cloth. So long as you don't burn any houses or people down with it, you're fine.
•	Flat Tax	ConComments It's a tax.
•	Gay Marriage	ProComments Let them do it, but don't reward them for it.
•	Global Warming Exists	ProComments I'm sure global warming probably does exist. Whether it's entirely (or at all) man-made is irrelevant.
•	Gun Rights	ProComments It's a right, so long as you don't shoot any innocents.
•	Labor Unions	ProComments Labor unions as they are today: terrible (just look at the auto industry); labor unions in principle: just fine.
•	Late Term Abortion	ConComments When the fetus actually has brain activity going on, there's no more aborting permitted. If you wanted to abort, lady, you had plenty of time.
•	Medicaid & Medicare	ConComments Get rid of it. State subsidies are a no-no.
•	Medical Marijuana	ProComments Sure.
•	Minimum Wage	ConComments It's called Economics.
•	Missile Defense System	UndComments Defense from whom?
•	NAFTA	ConComments You shouldn't need a special "agreement" to conduct free trade.
•	National Health Care	ConComments No one has a right to health care at another's expense.
•	National Retail Sales Tax	ConComments It's a tax.
•	Patriotism	ProComments If the country deserves it, go for it.
•	PETA	ConComments These people are depraved.
•	Police Profiling	ConComments Yo, blacky. You weren't planning on... mugging anyone... were you?
•	President George W. Bush	ConComments A perfect example of how the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
•	Progressive Tax	ConComments It's a tax.
•	School Vouchers	ConComments Government-funded vouchers? No.
•	Social Programs	ConComments The government has three functions: courts, police, and military.
•	Social Security	ConComments Privatize it.
•	Term Limits	ConComments Good politicians are good. Bad ones can get voted out.
•	Tobacco Rights	ProComments They can smoke it, chew it, whatever; however, I had better not be a victim of the side-effects.
•	United Nations	ConComments Impotent, collectivist, contradictory.
•	United States	ConComments If we continue down our current path, we're going to collapse.
•	War in Afghanistan	ConComments No.
•	War in Iran	ConComments Hell no.
•	War in Iraq	ConComments ... Wat
•	War on Terrorism	ConComments Get that shit outta here.
•	Water Boarding	ConComments Because information obtained through torture is totally accurate. And doesn't violate rights. Yeah.
•	Welfare	ConComments Well, it encourages indigence at the expense of those whom the government steals from to pay for it. In layman's terms: fuck no, bitch.
•	World Trade Organization	ConComments Again, special "agreements" are entirely unnecessary if free trade is truly the goal.
