> In a situation like this, the responsibility must be shared

Why not in other situations though? The elites avoid taxes, Boomers have houses, banks are pumping up the asset bubble, while young people have student debt, can't buy a place to live (or even a car), have no assets and, if they're lucky and productive and high-earners, they "enjoy" 20% higher tax rate than owners of capital... Why exactly should anyone now act in a way that is detrimental to themselves, to save some other predators?



You might find T.M. Scanlon's What We Owe to Each Other interesting.[1]

I hate the fact that I kinda see your point.
