So now we get some clarity
I didn’t understand your constant vehement denials of not wanting someone else’s money.
When posters write ”its not your money ”
They don’t mean it’s not Neville’s money
They mean the government
Meaning the ”you ” that’s trying to take the money by tax.
So you Neville can stop protesting a semantic point, as we know semantics are not really meaningful to you anyway, and respond to the substance.
When I engage in commerce in taking money away from everyone else.
Imagine if you will there is a billion dollars a min getting spent. If I get all billion nobody else can. Even though everyone else was legitimately angling for that money. So since I won the pot thereby shutting everyone else out, I have a responsibility to the society in which that transaction took place to give back.
When I give money which I already earned, to my offspring, nobody had a legitimate right to try to get that money as a gift, that can now say, I shut them out,. So I owe them nothing.
As to not working, I have no issue if someone doesn’t want to work, as long as they are not asking me to support them.
Are they a lazy bum if they sit and party all day? Absolutely. Some of the laziest most vile bums are the wealthiest people on the planet. That does not give me a right to tax them into slavery.
