Halloween is a great time to teach my kids about taxes. Using candy. They currently favor very, very low levels of taxation.
@JonHenke Obviously, w/govt that privatizes services, some candy goes to eating. But what about services?

@emptywheel I provide room, board, video games and the usual parental services. -
@JonHenke@emptywheel parent/child social contract very diff from ctzen/govt. Kids can't pay, & shouldn't. Citzns can, should. (con't) -
@mike_stark Sure they can pay. They have a nice stash of candy from which I can extort revenue right now. -
@JonHenke do you give kids chores? make them do things they don't want to do? do u confiscate their labor? do you say it makes u big gov? -
@mike_stark You might be taking this a bit more seriously than I am. I was just making Halloween jokes. -
@JonHenke nah. just playing with memes.got lights back, don't wanna turn them off. (but I do think many righties prone 2 oversimplification) -
@mike_stark Change that to "all people are prone to.." and we'll agree.
