I was recently witness to some folks claiming that the concept of property ownership was "artificial" and "arbitrary". I thought I'd write a rebuttal of sorts. Property comes from the

Society is a reflection of the family
I had a friend once who was horribly abused by his mother. She would hit him with a long electrical conduit. She even kept it in a special location, threatening him even when not in use. What kind of evil,

The gender "pay gap": the cancer that won't die
It's true, most men (and non-feminist women for that matter) don't stand up to the lies being spun about the gender "pay gap". True, most of the time these men and women are busy living their

Dollars are the best votes
Democracy is socialism. At least as a form of government anyway. If you want real democracy - let people choose everything. Dollars are the ultimate ballot papers.

We *can* do better
How can it be that the best solution to solving social issues is literally to take productive people's money? This money is taken irrespective of their consent. In other words, under the threat of force.

Why not tax poverty?
Want to solve poverty? Maybe it's time to try taxing it. Tax poor people more than rich people. The government does it with everything it tries to reduce. Want people to smoke less - stick a tax on it.
