Progressives, however, have always had their eye on those crops and that deer. Through an elaborate flimflam-"that greedy selfish farmer who wants to keep the food he planted and harvested," "look how much meat those hunters have compared to those who didn't go on the hunt"-the progressives seek to establish themselves as the moral arbiters in adjudicating an issue that needs no adjudication, namely, who has the right to the crops and the deer. The moment we enter into their pitch, we have unwittingly transferred ownership of the crops and the deer to the government, which is to say, to the progressives. This is the biggest theft of all, one that is especially diabolical because it marches behind a banner of justice.
