If you disagree with that I suggest you stop paying your federal taxes and see what happens.

"Your money is not yours constitutionallly."

Wrong. Money, Real Estate, and other property that I have earned IS mine. Period. The actual paper is considered property of the government, but the wealth it represents is mine.

"People have a right to make laws and take it away from you if they want."

The citizens of this country (including myself) have a constitutional ability to pass laws thru our elected representatives. But this is not a "Right" at all, it is a very limited (constitutionally) privledge, which is restricted from violating the Constitutional Rights of the Individual.

"That's why we have laws protecting property rights as a way of generating economic activity."

"Generating economic activity" has nothing to do with the right to own property. The Right to own that which one has earned thru his own labor is JUSTICE. You obviously do not even understand the MEANING of the word "Rights" or you would realize that Rights do not come from government at all, but are intrinsic to simply being alive.. they are given by the Creator. That which government gives, government can take away, thus is merely privledge. Where government oversteps the authority WE GIVE THEM, they can never take away our Rights.. only violate them.
