Just, a little thing I've been molding in my head
Ayn Rand wrote...
"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities"
Regardless of how a person feels towards Ayn Rand. They have to admit the logic in that statement. If you recognize individuality at all, then logically you would have to admit the existence of an individual's rights. By acknowledging those rights you would have to consider that an individual has the right to own property. Does an individual's right to property they have earned, trump any claims to that society might have to the same property (example: Money)?
So, let me ask you this; Do you exist for yourself as an individual or do you exist as a member of a group or collective?
Every election season we hear about "the poor", "the less fortunate", repeated demands that "the rich" pay their "fair share". A lot is said about income redistribution such as welfare programs and the like. This completely ignores that the act of earning a living is a uniquely individual pursuit.
Every person is a unique individual, you are not a tool of the state. You are not to be used as cannon fodder to elevate the position of a politician. Like you, I am unique, not a stamped-out variation of some collective template. I don't exist to serve the government, it exists to protect my rights.
