Limiting Economic Inequality Ought To Be A More Important
Resolved: Limiting economic inequality ought to be a more important social goal than maximizing economic freedom.

NO.

That is just communism.
Capitalism is the only way to give humans a chance to survive at all.

 Did everyone die in the USSR? Is everybody dead in Red China? I personally agree with your conclusion but I am curious to see how you come to that point.

If you're looking to start a civil war, I think pushing this notion is exactly the right way to go about it.

Age old economic question: How much can the government take to redistribute?

I think the economic decline of US is largely due to the taking and redistribution of too large a portion already. So, if your goal is limiting economic inequality--then I would say everyone will live with overall less economic well- being, but everyone will seem more equal in this sphere of life.
