"Thieves of private goods spend their lives in chains, thieves of public goods – in gold and fine clothes”

Cato the Elder, from Praecepta ad filium.

@yogthos When the rich get rich enough and the poor get poor enough, the middle class will join the fight. At that point they can call it whatever they want. We will still win.

@yogthos leftist nonsense… Rich one became rich not because they “robbed” some poor. If the rich had not existed the poor would have still been poor. I’d rather say the poor ones wanna rob the rich through taxation and other things.

@globalist that's a really round about way to say that you have a brain as smooth as a bowling ball

@yogthos the sulky commie banning be, lol? You can't even imagine the genius of my brain... Argumentum ad hominen and blacklisting is all you have.

@yogthos taxation is theft, not purchasing.

@stormbringer how to say you don't understand what taxes are without saying that you don't understand what taxes are

@yogthos @stormbringer@c.im Ain't it nice to know that even on a place like Mastodon there are still fascist elitist shitheads about?

Taxes aren't theft: they are a part of the agreement citizens hold with their government to help contribute to the greater welfare of the whole, and a great many of the things that make "capitalism" possible at all are built on the backs of those same citizens doing their part to build a better nation for everyone.

Capitalism doesn't build roads: it just uses them.
