>> The fact that you earn anything at all, or that you don't get robbed, or that you have any property rights at all, is a function of the state. The reason I earn is because I provide value for my employer. The fact that I don't get robbed, the same reason I have property rights, is a function of my readiness to beat the shit out of anyone stupid enough to try it. The state didn't show up to my job interview, and the state doesn't have my back when I'm walking the city at night. The best the state can do is not screw up my contributions to society or property rights- they are derived from my own self, not some organizational structure that humans came up with so we could survive without learning how to respect each other.
