Do you mean to say the Federal Government is responsible for the creation of wealth?

No, I mean to say exactly what I said. The money in your wallet you are perfectly free to burn, but you are not free to do so with impunity.

Oooh... I get it. The Feds can burn my money with impunity, but I can't. Thanks for clearing that up.

Hey CJ

Been a while since I've been on one of the Libertarian threads. But this one is particularily repulsive.

Its sort of a "Lets be as outrageous as possible so that we can draw attention to ourselves" kind of thread. In the name of Libertarian "purity", the defenders of this article would like to pretend that this money is going to build a library somewhere rather than prevent a malaria breakout.

Meanwhile, they enjoy Freeping on the DARPA-funding-developed internet with complete clarity of conscience.

So you're giving the government's money back to them when you pay taxes, do you think? What you have in your wallet is what Uncle Sam is letting you keep, you're saying?

Yikes!
