I do not see the logic in that comment, which seems to cartwheel from the Confederate cause to a gripe about federal transfer payments today.

I'm pointing out that everybody loves slaves, so long as they are the beneficiaries of the money produced by the slaves.

Taxation is fractional slavery. 100% taxation is 100% slavery. 50% taxation is 50% slavery.

I say we all have a responsibility to carry some load for the benefit of the general public, but I have long stated a reasonable amount of that load is 10%.
