What the left cannot seem to grasp is that private and public morality are inextricably intertwined. When individual rights are violated, it is a moral issue. If actions done in the name of ‘public morality’ infringe on individual liberty, they are inherently immoral.
There are issues of private morality and issues of public morality. Traditionally the Right concerns itself more with private morality and the Left more with public morality. Economics is a moral issue. Equality is a moral issue. Justice is a moral issue. War is a moral issue.

On war, we undoubtedly agree nearly 100%. Economy. Forcibly taking more money from some than others punishes hard work and success. It is the theft of the product of honest labor. Obviously this is pretty broad for Twitter, but that’s one of the easy examples.

The flaw in that argument is the suggestion that the rich work harder than the poor do. There is no reason in the world to assume that someone with a white-collar cushy job trading numbers on Wall Street is working harder than is a construction worker or waiter in a restaurant.
