An example of moral rent-seeking



Egads, this video is ridiculous. But note the use of moral rent-seeking: Group X, social conservatives, has successfully passed laws in the past that make the lives of gay people more difficult. Their attitudes, to some degree, make those lives more difficult.

Group Y's lowered welfare is then used as justification for either maintaining or passing additional laws. This is why social conservatives must be fought, their arguments refuted and destroyed.
