But in fact we don't own our pre-tax income, and what we do own is defined by a legal system of private property in which taxes play an indispensable role.

Does anyone else besides me remember a stand up comedian of the 50s and 60s by the name of Professor Corey?

I don't think this guy is doing stand up comedy though. That makes it scary.

And I'm still scratching my head. If we don't own our pre-tax income, who does? And if it's the collective? What is that and what empowered it?
I suspect illegal drugs had a major role in the creation of this article.

And if it's the collective? What is that and what empowered it?

Of course, the collective is so abstract that we must have a committee to represent the collective, interpret the needs and desires of the collective and act in the collective's interests.

Who gets to be on this committee? The people who decided we needed the comittee in the first place.

And if you're not on the committee? Well too bad for you. Your interests may be found to run contrary to those of the collective.

At its core, "social justice" is another tired revolutionary propaganda slogan for that most timeless element of society: thugs and criminals who seek to steal what others have earned honestly.
