Try telling that to someone whose had their assets frozen.
Ill gotten gains are frozen all the time in a civilized society, that includes not paying for upkeep (taxes), lest we descend into savagery.
- gozur88 9y agoIf you've done something illegal you can be assessed all sorts of penalties. But if you've come by your money legally, it's your money. It's not society's money. And it doesn't belong to your fellow citizens because, well, they want it.
