Apart from the sheer envy underpinning the whole thing, what I find mystifying is their persistent belief that - contrary to a century of evidence - the state is competent to effectively redistribute wealth. It isn't. It takes money, pisses 90% of it up the wall on admin and jobs for the boys.
They don't believe that; they just want your money. Or at least, they want you *not* to have it.
Convincing everyone not to have children was genius really, as it took away the main reason, or injunction, anybody had to fight against high taxation, low wages and long working hours.

I don't see that. Presumably you were a children, or child anyway, and you turned out alright. Why would you imagine children were a bad thing, if not for the reasons I've outlined?
Of course, naturally, I too believe children are bad, which is why the sensitive man has as little to do with them as possible; as we agreed before, that's what wives are for. However, that is, imo, no excuse for actually not having them.

Oh, but they do. At least the younger, idealistic ones do. They actually think that, by taking your money away and giving it to the state, we will end up with a happier, healthier and wealthier society. I mean yes, it's motivated by the initial desire to take your wealth away, but that doesn't mean they don't genuinely believe that the state is best placed to provide despite all the evidence to the contrary.
