Bastiat: Legal Plunder
Our government uses force to perpetrate “Legal Plunder” every day.
The purpose of government is to protect the individual. Property is an extension of the individual. Money is property.

Imagine you and I are strolling down the street one fine day on our way to have a nice lunch and we come across a woman who is truly destitute. She needs many things including food to feed her baby. Imagine also that you just cashed a check and you know, and I know, that you have $200.00 in your pocket.
Now imagine that I decide that you should give the 200 dollars to the woman. (Remember, she is truly needy.) So I take out my handgun and I order you, at gunpoint, to turn over the 200 to the woman. Not wanting your brains splattered all over the street, you comply.
But it's not over. Let's just say that I am so moved by this woman's situation...
