As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “I Fucking Hate Government,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"An inconvenient truth

“An inconvenient truth: in 2014, all the criminals in the U.S. stole a total of $3.9 billion from citizens… and police stole $4.5 billion from citizens through civil asset forfeiture – $600 million more than all the criminals combined.”

My Commentary: But, without government, who would commit theft, under color of law?

The following correspondence originally took place here, upon the Facebook page, “Being Libertarian“…

(replies from all third parties have been omitted for clarity)

“I believe that I have a right to your money for my birth control!” “No, thank you. I don’t believe that you can take my money for…” “WHAT IS WITH THIS WAR ON WOMEN??? STOP FORCING YOUR BELIEFS DOWN MY THROAT!!! I HAVE A RIGHT TO DECIDE HOW TO SPEND YOUR MONEY AND THAT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!!”

Rayn: Popular Feminist abortion slogans: “My body, my choice,” and “Stay out of my uterus.”

How about some similarly-themed, doublethink-exposing Feminist birth-control slogans? “My body, your non-consensual funding.” Ha! “Enter into a non-consensual, long-term financial relationship with my uterus.” Ha ha!

Jay K.: ‘My paycheck, my choice?’ ‘Stay out of my wallet?’

Law Enforcement Took More Stuff from People Than Burglars Did Last Year:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/11/23/cops-took-more-stuff-from-people-than-burglars-did-last-year/

(Washington Post, Christopher Ingraham) Here’s an interesting factoid about contemporary policing: In 2014, for the first time ever, law enforcement officers took more property from American citizens than burglars did. Martin Armstrong pointed this out at his blog, Armstrong Economics, last week.

Officers can take cash and property from people without convicting or even charging them with a crime — yes, really! — through the highly controversial practice known as civil asset forfeiture. Last year, according to the Institute for Justice, the Treasury and Justice departments deposited more than $5 billion into their respective asset forfeiture funds. That same year, the FBI reports that burglary losses topped out at $3.5 billion.
