Good thing most of the United States does not agree with you
Good thing most of the US used to agree on slavery
Good thing most of the US used to agree that women should not vote
Good thing most of the US used to agree that bleeding was an acceptable medical practice
Argumentum ad populum does not make something right.
A fallacy
Attempting to connect social issues with economic issues
If you want to claim economic issues have morality
Isn't it the right of the people who have success to help the people attempting to succeed
YOU were the one using the fallacy. By pointing to a supposed majority of people thinking the way you do, you tried to make your position appear "right" which a classic appeal to the masses (or mob).
A fallacy does not discriminate between economic or social issues, or any issues, it is an error in logic.
And how does someone making the government foot the bill for a $200k education in conceptual theater or some other horsecrap "helping someone to succeed?" If they were sucessful shouldnt they be able to pay thier own bill?
