re: #148 reine.de.tout

But this idea that the money we individually earn belongs to the GOVERNMENT before it belongs to us is an odd one.

Nobody has said that.

I was stunned to see you questioning CCA about his “extra” money, as if he’s not entitled to have extra money to spend as HE sees fit. Not as our government sees fit; he pays his taxes, and allows the government to determine how to spend that money. Why the questions about his “extra” money, as if he has no right to it?

That’s not what I’m doing. That’s what you’re reading into it. And I’m really getting tired of being accused that I don’t want people to have any extra money. It’s a bullshit accusation.

I have no idea what this ‘extra’ money is. I was asking questions the entire time because I had no clue— nor do I still— what he is actually saying. I have no idea why me asking questions to try to figure something out is somehow a bad thing.
