re: #319 reine.de.tout

And what seems strange to me, is the thought that the income I make, is somehow not mine, but belongs to someone else. Sorry. I find that odd and honestly, unnerving.

Some of it is not yours. Some of it, as you said, legally belongs to someone else. I don’t know what’s unnerving about that. I understand, when I work, that I owe some of that money to the government. I like living in a civil society, so, while I’m very concerned about the ways that money is spent, the mere concept of ‘government needs money and gets some of that money from me, a beneficiary of that government’ isn’t the least bit unnerving.
