The _same_ example can be used to prove anything. The sense of fairness somebody speaks of can explain the TP apathy to taxes. It's not fair to take my money just to support bums.
That same sense of fairness he speaks of could justify the Holocause also. It isn't fair for lice like the Jews to inhabit space that belongs to real humans.
