You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear: we the people built roads hoping that someone like you would come along and move goods to market on them (so we could buy them); we the people paid to educate workers hoping that someone like you would come along and hire them so that we the people might have employment to enrich us materially and spiritually; we the people created police and fire forces hoping to protect the valuable things that you create for us. We the people want what you can provide and we were afraid that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory that we wanted. Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea? God bless.
We the government want to take a big hunk of it because part of the underlying social contract that you never signed (that is in fact a figment our our imagination designed to trick the dim wits among you) and is therefore naturally unenforceable except by the power we the government wield through taxation of the wealth that you have made.
