A political philosopher argues: 'A progressive taxation system, in which wealthier individuals are taxed at a higher percentage of their income, is morally required for a just society.' The philosopher's argument rests on the premise that individuals do not have an absolute moral claim to their pre-tax income because their earnings are significantly influenced by societal factors (e.g., public education, infrastructure, legal system) beyond their individual effort.
An objector who believes in strong property rights wants to refute this argument. Which rebuttal is most directly aimed at the philosopher's central premise?
