ummm, maybe because they are the ones that EARNED the money, so they have a right to say where it goes?



Would they have EARNED as much in a country without a government-provided legal system and financial system and infrastructure? Like, say, Somalia?


Please stop doing that. Our two options are not Statism and Somalia.


Earning money needs a wealthy country to support you and your business. Why shouldn't you support the country that provided your wealth? And if your answer is that you will give to charity, then please answer the rest of my question above.


please enlighten me with your fully documented study supporting your conclusions. It does not take a wealthy country, it takes an individual willing to work hard and sacrifice. Anything else is just blame shifting.

We do support the country that provides our wealth - we participate in the local economy. We give to charity. We provide a valuable service to the community. We help others in need.

You seem to conflate paying taxes with supporting a country/region, when that is not the case.


First I ask the same of you, and the answer to my question, where are the charities cleaning the streets or changing street lights?

And good luck out side of the western world getting by with a hard working business owner to run any kind of high flying business. Good luck with the bribes you'll be paying the old USSR or India for example. Why do you think people are so keen to join our countries (presuming you are from Europe or the USA)?
