Modern Day Liberals Vs. Skeptics of Stealing Through Majority Voting

Gary North has a dialogue between the modern day liberal and the skeptic of theft through majority voting:
Liberal: I come in the name of The People.

Skeptic: Which people?

L: The Downtrodden, The Dispossessed, The Exploited, The Victims of Malevolent Forces Beyond Their Control.

S: You mean swing voters on welfare.

L: I would not put it that way.

S: I didn't think you would.

L: You are an apologist for the unregulated free market.

S: I am an apologist for private ownership.

L: You mean "Every man for himself."

S: I mean "Every man with his own."

L. Some people have more than they need.

S: I have a solution for that.

L: What's your solution?

S: Sufficient economic growth, so that everyone has more than he needs.

L: But some people will still have more than others.

S: You are shifting the argument from "more than he needs" to "more than others."

L: They are the same thing.

S: No, they aren't.

L: I want a society in which everyone has what he needs. "From each according to his ability. To each according to his needs."

S: Exactly how do you intend to attain such a society?

L: By voter mobilization.

S: I get it. "Thou shalt not steal, except by majority vote."
This is only part of the dialogue.
