re: #250 WindUpBird

This mental acrobatics where everyone thinks 100% of their money is their money in a society, it’s really something

I worked for this money!

I mean I built the internet and the phone infrastructure

and I kept the currency stable

and I hired the police to keep me safe

and I hired those guys to build roads and traffic signals

It’s my money! I paid all those guys to do those things so I could make a buck at my flabby middle management job pushing paperwork! It’s MY MONEY

:D

It’s beyond me why people who are intelligent enough to understand what you just wrote, are not insightful enough to understand that it works both ways. Yes, saying that the “government can’t take any of my money: is stupid. So, to, is to presume that this means that all of your money is up for grabs.
