Krugman: Your money actually belongs to the government.

[500grains]

My labor produces money. If the government owns my money, then that means the government owns my labor. If the government owns my labor, then I am a slave.

Paul Krugman, a far-left, columnist for the New York Times, recently criticized those who "see taxes and regulation as tyrannical impositions on their liberty" and who believe "that people have a right to keep what they earn." At least one branch of the American political machine, shares Krugman's view, that the money you earn -- the material manifestation of your mental and physical labor -- is not yours. It belongs to the government.

Actually, your labor produces goods and/or services which, in turn, you voluntarily exchange for legal tender issued (and owned) by the federal government.

If your labor is producing "money" and you're not an employee of the United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing, well, you might want to keep that on the down low.

Krugman would be proud.

This is the biggest BS I have read on here in a while.

If you're being serious, well, thats just pathetic buddy!

In no way does the goverment "own" my money, my self, or my belongings. Period.

I do not "voluntarily" exchange my goods and/or services for the FRN's as legal tender, I am forced to, as are the rest of you; there is nothing "voluntary" about it...

Krugman was also the Bolshevik that said democracy is messy, and we need to emulate China's one party system.

ONLY if they confiscate it... again...

Again? They are consistently and constantly confiscating from us. Inflation, devalueing of our dollar, etc. The confiscation never ended.

Krugman is an assclown. I started to listen to an interview with him on NPR and had to switch stations.

I had a professor last semester who would tell us to listen to NPR. The professor was an outright communist, in my opinion. He seemed to be in love with Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution.

You're a better man than I to even tune in for 5 seconds.
