Molly O’Shea(@MollySOShea):David @friedberg reacts to @JTLonsdale saying he would pay 90% in taxes if it meant the US would become a functioning society: "Right.. if your money goes to something good." "But as soon as you let the government take it, it gets destroyed in the system." "It's like a fucking shredder of money." "You're taking all your money, you put it in the paper shredder, and then you get like a little bit out and it's damp and covered in coffee grounds and you're like, 'Okay, I got my value back.'" "That's what the government is."
