Answer
A. You'd better give up that idea that people have a
right to decent paying jobs. That sounds like socialism, and you know what
they do to socialists around here!
The closest analog to this is:
5. Of course an airplane's "black box" is black. If you don't just accept
it I'll come over there and slap you silly!
Logical Structure:
People who believe X will be hurt by somebody.
X
is not true.
In A, X stands for "people have a
right to decent paying jobs."
In 5, X stands for "an airplane's "black box" is not black."
Notice
that the threat doesn't depend on whether or not the claim is true. People who
hurt those who disagree with them have the power to inlict pain whether or not
their beliefs are true.
