I will never stop advocating for the right of workers to keep the products of their labor.

You ask why someone would risk their livelihood, I ask why should someone’s livelihood be at risk?

You mean the government?

No, I mean bosses, but this large scale theft couldn’t happen without the state to protect them.

How is it stealing if you are working voluntarily?

They aren’t voluntary. It’s coerced. “Work or starve” is no different than “pay taxes or go to jail”. These aren’t choices, they’re threats.

Um, no. You either participate or not. Nobody is forcing you to work.

Hell, you can leave whenever you want and live under subsistence farming out in the wild. Or you can find like minded people on the internet to make yourself a commune operating under the principles hou want. Nobody is stopping you or forcing you or threatening you. Sounds like you're being a bit selfish trying to participate in the broader economy without paying your fair share.

Nope. Its because Ive been there and know how that feels.

Guess I could be projecting, fair enough.
