  1. I would agree with this completely were it an abstraction, but one does not practice morality in a vacuum. It is immoral to accept government grants, even though you (do or will in the future) pay for them via taxation. It is immoral to use the U.S. postal service, it is immoral to drive on public roads or use public parks or buildings etc. Or is it immoral? I guess my point is that you did not create the world we live in, but you have the right to thrive as best you can in it, while striving to create a better world. Ayn Rand wrote: "The victims do not have to add self-inflicted martyrdom to the injury done to them by others; they do not have to let the looters profit doubly, by letting them distribute the money exclusively to the parasites who clamored for it... Those who advocate public scholarships, have no right to them; those who oppose them, have."
