re: #259 Obdicut

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.

I’m legally obligated to pay what has been decided I should pay on my income - or on the things I buy, or whatever. And I pay it gladly.

But no, Obdi - if I’ve earned the money, it’s mine. And I gladly and voluntarily pay my taxes. And if the government decides it needs less of my money, that is not a subsidy to me.
