Elon Musk is correct.
Government is just the largest corporation with a unique *legal* monopoly on violence.
Government grants itself power to do things that, if we did so privately, we would be in jail for.
Which is why taxation is theft.
@CallMe_Zyroo It's just basic economics. Women are like uber, just press a button on your phone and another will appear at your house. No reason to get care about a particular one.

If food weren't grown for profit, most of it would never be produced in the first place. People would largely grow food for themselves and their families.

Their ideal farmer isn't an entrepreneur. He's a slave whose only reward is another list of demands and sacrifices.
