RE: All bark, no bite

There is nobody in this country who got rich on their own. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.

Sort:  

yes. people tend to have short memories about what they have taken for granted.

This whole argument does not make sense.

There is nobody in this country who got to keep the all the money they worked for and And could defend themselves against extortion. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of our slaves where extorted for by our extortion racket. You hired workers the rest of the people where extorted for, to pay for the indoctrination of the next slaves we are going to extort. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of the people are extorted for.
And in the case of the police force be thankful we extorted you, because else there would be other extortionists that extorted you to pay for their extortion and to keep their extortion racket going. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Because we don't like competition, We only seize a part of what you produce in your factory. Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of our underlying extortion racket is you take a hunk of that, and pay forward for the us, the politicians, who pay for the indoctrination for the next kid who comes along that we can extort and use as our slave by teaching him;
