Here we are back at the lessons of kindergarden. Red faced, with nostrils flaring, nobody but nobody is going to touch "your" toys. Ok, let's break it down logically. What are the factors of production and who supplied them? Your body was supplied by God. If you reject God, then your parents and their parents, ad infinitum. The knowledge to use your body productively came from school, mostly supplied by government. The safe environment surrounding your body, mostly supplied by government. You paid for your shirt and house, but civilization made it possible for you to buy them. The social system in which you could exercise and benefit from your work, supplied by civilization. The money you so greedily want to hold on to, supplied by government. The force to keep somebody bigger than you from taking away all your money, supplied by government. You know, now that I think about it logiclly, you are holding on to way too much of the profits. Looks to me like your share will be well under 5 percent. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
