So I'm not crying for them.

Perhaps not, but don't you think a system where the government just automatically assumes that half of whatever you have belongs to them? By what right? What did the government do to afford this opportunity? You can talk about the infrastructure and what not, but the value of that is dubious at best.

What concerns me is the easy assumption that it is just fine for the government to steal half of what I've worked hard to earn, but that it is a shocking injustice for the government to steal half a windfall I did nothing to earn.
