"You can exchange and profit from your investment so long as you operate by the rules; and those rules are subject to political winds.

So, you admit that the rules you favor are based upon whim and the power of the bully-boys to enforce them at the point of a gun. My rules are based upon the ethics of self-determination and freedom. I have Jefferson and Madison on my side. Who have you got?

Yada-yada-yada- if someone were to walk into your home today and decide that they had the freedom to partake of your property, you wouldn't hesistate for a minute to call out the hired guns. Where would your commitment to freedom and self determination be at that point? Property is a fiction created to support and encourage a capitalistic system; but, should that system fail, you have no more substantial a claim to that property then a worker has for a job. Those who forget that will usually live to regret it.
