A good example. Where your tax money goes. What if you don't want your taxes going to pointless foreign wars.

I mean, you're paying the money. Shouldn't you decide where it goes and how much??

well if you vote you can exercise choice in that way

i mean of course you could say voting doesn't really matter

that's not a valid argument though

Except you only vote in an election.

you are confusing implementation with theory

why should you decide where that money goes

Because I paid for it.

That's why.

so

not nessecarily

why does that mean you should decide where it goes

because taxes aren't compartmentalized

which they are SUPPOSED to be

why should it be yours to unilaterally decided what happens with it

instead, we spend money promised boomers to fight forgein wars

what is the deeper reason

borrowing against funds already allocated to other areas

It's my money and if I'm going to pay for something I decide what that is.

this should be verboten

why is it yours

it's not 'your money'

Because I created/earned it.

you work in this country, under the protections of this gov at a COST

and why do the actions you are calling creating or earning it entitle you to it

Because I did something to get it via a service.

woah, stop confusing terminology

workers don't create money

that goes against capitalism

They create value

correct

money is a storage of value

would you say that getting to own that by virtue of having performed that service is a right

IT's a mutual agreement, not a right.

IF you have the right to perform a service THEN you have a right to the output

can't have just one

they go together

but why do people exercise control over the things the agreement is made upon

else it's called 'slavery'
