If a guy with no legs can't walk, does that mean I have to drag myself around? If a hobo can't afford food, does that mean I can't eat?

Oh, I see. This is my fault, but that's not what the question is asking. I'll fix it, then please answer them again.

Oh, then in that case, I agree. It shouldn't be morally incorrect for me to kill a guy if it isn't morally incorrect for a rich entrepreneur to hire a hitman to kill someone for no reason.

EDIT: I don't know what I was thinking when I answered the last question before, as well, so change that to a yes. Maybe I interpreted it incorrectly or something, but it would be stupid to disagree with it.
