re: #612 elbruce

No, I was not arguing about progressive tax, linear (flat) tax, or import duties.

I was discussing the governments’ role in the lives of its citizens.

I took the position that the government is a servant, or hired workman deserving of its wages.

The counterpoint was that the government owns all and we are granted temporary custody from the all-owning overseer(s).

It is very telling that some took the counter position.

Telling, yet not surprising.
