re: #253 reine.de.tout

I’m arguing that if I’ve earned it, it’s MINE. And allowing me to keep more of it than before, is NOT subsidizing ME. It’s just taking less away from me.

Please see above. I find this way of thinking to be fallacious. You didn’t expect to keep all the money when you earned it, you knew you were operating under a system where, in return for the civil society provided, the government took taxes— so in what sense was ALL of the money yours? Part of it is very legitimately the governments when you earn it. It’s a a real debt.
