The above are Rob Kall's words replying to a comment to his article "Time to Hit Back Harder". The money in question are taxes. Rob's reply was to someone that correctly pointed out that " The government has no business taking money from my pocket (by force) to give to someone else."

This idea that people who don't want their money stolen from them are parasites is standing reality on it's head. The parasites are those that live off of tax money and most definitely not the entrpreneurs that create the wealth we enjoy today. As Bastiat said, "The state is the great fiction by which everybody seeks to live at the expense of everybody else."

Or as HL Mneken put it:

The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They

have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of

government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their

principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for

something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out

of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting

A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every

election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods.
