The 10 Planks |
That's a load of hooey. That site is taking the 10 steps, which say "remove ALL property rights or remove ALL inheretance rights" and then saying we do it because SOME property belongs to the government and because the government takes SOME of the inheritance in the form of taxes, etc etc.
If the site author can't comprehend the difference between ALL and SOME, he needs to go back to watching Sesame Street and get the basics down before he starts writing political opinion pieces.
