If the head-count discovers that all money (including the coins of metal currency fetishers) is mere convention, it soonafter learns that all property is convention.
No less than Ben Franklin (an early Georgist) :
“…All Property, indeed, except the Savage’s temporary Cabin, his Bow, his Matchcoat, and other little Acquisitions, absolutely necessary for his Subsistence, seems to me to be the Creature of public Convention. Hence the Public has the Right of Regulating Descents, and all other Conveyances of Property, and even of limiting the Quantity and the Uses of it. All the Property that is necessary to a Man, for the Conservation of the Individual and the Propagation of the Species, is his natural Right, which none can justly deprive him of: But all Property superfluous to such purposes is the Property of the Publick, who, by their Laws, have created it, and who may therefore by other Laws dispose of it, whenever the Welfare of the Publick shall demand such Disposition. He that does not like civil Society on these Terms, let him retire and live among Savages. He can have no right to the benefits of Society, who will not pay his Club towards the Support of it.”
that $$ is going to go right into the credit card late fee, overdraft fees and such …right into the pocket of the heralded job creators to trickle down to the suckers who should pull themselves from their own bootstraps.
They aren’t taking it out of our pockets or accounts, it’s deficit spending that someone will have to pay for at some point more than a half century in the future.
