yes, i fully agree with what you said. its just that my point
was that if others demand that you share the pie that you have made
yourself, then who would determine how much of a share each of them gets?
I would, personally, eat the pie i have made, and let others make their
own pies. Unfortunately, those too lazy to make their own pies or those
who feel pity toward those cannot make their own pies, had created the
government to divide up *my* pie. The government now takes my pie, keeps
half of it as payment for the "services it renders," and gives little
slices of it back to those who haven't made their own pies.
