Do you eat those CDs to keep from going hungry?
You should not have to steal. You should have worked your way up from berger flipper to floor swamper in your McDonald's by now. After all, you conservatives claim that the working poor have enough money to live on...on should be able to pay a flat income tax also.
Just an exercise in rationalization. He steals because he is a thief.Nice distortion there.....Steve has never said he "had" to steal, he says he does because the government is dishonest.
50 Cents a gallon to pay for highway construction and maintenance. $3.00 to pay for the construction and maintenance of the toll bridge. Who should pay for those things if not the people using them? The rich? When the Government takes money from you, it is called taxes. Your only redress is to vote for those who share your beliefs. It is, after all a representative form of government.You realize the government robs you 50cents a gallon of gas, THATS ROBBERY!!! And 6% Sales tax when you shop. THATS ROBBERY!! And $3 to cross a toll bridge? THATS HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!! And
Cause if you dont feed them the pigs rob you more
So whos the real thief?

You have a natural right 'to acquire...property'. You do not have a natural right to property.
Not sure what Locke has to do with anything but lets look;That is how locke defined private property -- that which you take from nature and imbue with your own labor.
Forget the fact that Locke said no such thing... Exactly where is that written in the US Constitution?What you take from nature is owned by the state
There will never be a tax cut on the middle class peroid,,These politicans will do anything you want to hear just to get elected.
I agree but that is not what's at issue here. In reality, our individual rights are supposed to be protected by law but are instead violated by other laws which supposedly create "Rights" out of thin air.You can in theory have all of these rights, but if they are not recognized and protected under the law, then it does not mean all that much ultimately.
If you went to court and argued you had a natural right to x, but it was not recognized under the laws of society, then your case is over before it started.
Additionally, I am not sure I would agree property rights are necessarily inalienable, such as the right to life would be, for many reasons numinus has spelled out.
GenSeneca;157870Dr. Who said:you do have a natural right to pluck an apple from a tree but the moment you take possession of that apple, you have no natrual rights to keep or use that apple. Does that sound right to you?
Forget the fact that Locke said no such thing... Exactly where is that written in the US Constitution?
Again, Dr. Who, you do have a natural right to pluck an apple from a tree - but - you have NO natural right to keep or use the literal 'fruit of your labor' because, according to Numinus, once plucked, that apple becomes property of the state. Does that sound right to you?
