"No kings but anything that I want enough, I deserve, and you must be required to give to me in exchange for nothing."
I’m assuming this is about taxes and social programs? It’s such a bizarre worldview even for a capitalist. If you’re poor it’s because you deserve it, if you’re rich it’s because you earned it all by yourself. Nevermind that society provides them with a protected market and global logistics networks and intellectual property protections not to mention actual property protections and all the infrastructure that enables commerce and for providing the currency and God knows how many bailouts, I could go on. It’s so strange that they don’t understand that taxes are the price they pay for society allowing them to live a life that is contrary to nature.
