    Yeah. Cargo Cult adherents disagree too. And they’ve got a far better understanding of where goods come from.

    I EARN, therefore anyone wanting what I’ve got can do the same. And what’s rotting society is grubby part time socialists with entitlement complexes and no work ethic to match.

But hey, we're all different. If and when I turn up it'll be with the majority of a country at my back and I won't fancy your odds.
    The government most certainly don’t look after anyone, they don’t have any resources whatsoever other than those supplied by income earners. I’ve never met a money seeker, can’t be fuck all of them around. I’ve met thousands of productive individuals, but almost to a man they contribute enough that they can indeed be well proud of their charitable efforts. As for your posse, as far as I’m concerned I’ll worry about that in direct proportion to the sense or validity I see in your massively ill-considered daydream. Not a great deal.

    I said nothing of the sort. I said all socialist states use money, and they lend/borrow money, and the cost of borrowing money there is higher. In fact every civilisation currently on the planet sees money as indispensable. Now, who’s off their fucking rocker?

    Utterly incorrect. It might be true of your money. My money, however represents the value of the work I did in earning it. No debt there I can assure you, just a valid medium of exchange. I’d suggest you do some reading, but you’ve demonstrated you can interpret fucking near anything to mean what you want. A lost cause.

    They bare a remarkable resemblance to your side of the fence.

    ... there be irony in them thar hills... still hung up on people that aren't net contributors having no work ethic. Haven't you got a small village of children to massacre somewhere?

    Don't loThe look after all of us. Granted they do it really really really badly, but that's what happens when tax dodgers, I mean those who structure their affairs in such as way as to limit their tax liability, don't put what they are morally bound yo put into the collective pot. Yet the govt have the ability to take anyone's property on a whim? Ye be dreamin. Else you would have battered out a list of negatives by now and you haven't. Because you can't. And when you attempt to do so, whilst claiming a moral high ground, you only reinforce what I know to be true.

    Well that's how I translated the below. Nothing to do with capitalism, yet social states use money. I told you. You're the one that's off their rocker for accepting that this is the only way a civilisation (my fuckin arse we're civilised) can function.

    . There is NO money without debt. Just because you are not in debt, which technically you are as the govt has borrowed on your behalf whether you like it or not, does not mean that your work has not created even more debt. The money you hold has debt attached to it whichever way you look at it, apart from out and out denial that is, and sugar coating it by calling it a means of exchange has to be one of the most outdated concepts on the face of this planet. But by all means sugar coat anything you like if it helps you to sleep better. I'm not a lost cause at all. I have been where you are and have chosen to be somewhere else because of that stupid financial system. You highlight that some people will just never learn, however I am prepared for such a world view, coz I used to live it.

    Yeah, that's some nice backing out there. Socialism with it's money has nothing to do with capitalism, yeah, that's the title of my first book sorted.

    Had one a week again. Get some new fuckin glasses.
