Take two chickens: one belongs to a farm, the other a family home. Eggs produced by the first chicken will go to market, where they will be sold for an average of 1 leu, organic eggs even more. They will contribute to the budget via VAT, profit and income tax, salary tax and social security contributions.

And this is how you explain liberalism.

All your eggs are belong to us.

This reasoning is used in lots of contexts. “Workforce participation,” for example. Several of my friends and I take care of our own children: not “working” and adding nothing to GDP. If each of us paid the next one over to take care of our children, we’d all be in the “workforce” and all generating taxable income.

His comments weren't too abstract. They were a spot on glimpse of just how the left thinks. It is not just a coincidence that Stalin and Mao targeted millions of farmers for liquidation.

Funny things is, they do not even have the economics right. In May, I purchased roughly $20 worth of tomato plants, plus at least that much more in buying potting soil and containers. Despite my care, the season ended early because it was a bad year for leaf blight and too much of our soil is of poor quality and not well-drained.

Since tomatoes from Virginia and points south sell at the supermarket here at a steep discount during harvest season, I estimate my $40 plus investment produced maybe $10 in tomatoes, not counting my time and care. So the libtards should give me a subsidy or a tax refund. Do you think they will?

Quadruple the tax on chicken feed.

Problem solved.
