I kind of like his pizza analogy.

The pizza analogy would only be apt if it were first stolen, then the initial stealing of the pizza was used to justify continued stealing, each time, taking more and more from the pizza maker.

But to stop even asking for any pizza, while letting others take YOUR money for whatever dinner THEY want, makes no sense, either.

Years ago I lived in a town where the elementary school didn’t have a playground for the kids on recess. Nothing but an empty field next to the school.

I don’t know whether they asked for money and were refused or what but in the end the locals decided to pay for it themselves. They held raffles and other kinds of fundraising. They hoped to raise $15,000 to build the playground and ended up with $150,000. They bought the field and built one hell of a playground. I think it was wealthy summer residents who pushed the amount up so high God bless em.

There were still people that whined about all that money going into that playground but screw em. That was donated money that wasn’t forcibly taken from anyone.
