Right propaganda or freedom propaganda?

You are entitled of what you've done, period.

Anything above 10% is theft.

"Times of higher tax burden have been economically more productive" -> this is just false, a falacy. Prove it somehow.

Sweden was a very rich nation before high taxes, now it's just rich, net jobs after high taxation in 50 years is ZERO. They are just letting go now, cutting taxes more and more.

I wonder why US economy is booming right now, maybe because Trump is going to cut taxes?!

Oops...



Well, the government has defended you from foreign threats, protected the monetary system that lets you earn in the first place, provided for your public education, established your infrastructure, and been a check against your home burning down or being robbed. If everyone's entitled to what they've done, what are they entitled to?

Capitalism is a system, like any other, created by humans and not found in nature. "Ownership" is not some property of matter; what it means to own something is that there is a legal system that supports that deed and an armed police and military to enforce it. There is no concept of ownership except for a truly anarchic "everything I own is in a box that I have the key to" idea that does not require other people to guarantee your property rights.


Oops my ass. The US economy is not booming - the US stock market is artificially inflated because investment speculators are betting that companies are going to use this obscene period in time to take advantage and do whatever they want to increase corporate profits in further concentrate the wealth in smaller and smaller circles.
