Ok..let's get this straight... You have your property. You own it.
No one has any rights to it but you. Whatever you make by selling your
labor becomes your hard-earned property. You earned it. Its your
property. No one has the right to take it or any part of it away from you.
If the point is not clear, "The right to life means that you keep what
you earn and are not forced to give it to big bullies with sticks."
When you have the "distribute the pie" scheme, then there has to be
someone who determines how much of a share each person gets. Otherwise,
why can't i take the whole pie? Therefore, the government...and all the
evil with it.. arises..it's what "distributes the pie."
