I am choosing Santa Claus to highlight certain absurdities.
Santa wrote and promulgated some rules that you are required to obey or Santa will hurt you... And one set of Santa's rules is you are required to cough up a sizeable portion of your compensation for labor, your pay for working, to Santa, and your employer is required by Santa to deduct that portion of your pay and send it to Santa...
Santa Claus (more precisely, those representing Santa and acting as his agents) believe Santa owns us. Santa (more precisely, those representing Santa and acting as his agents) believe Santa has a higher right to rule us and our property than we do. Too many of those being "ruled" believe the same. 12 years of gaslighting in public school will inculcate that false belief.
None of those people representing Santa Claus own or have attendant rights of ownership over any body else's property. If no human on the planet owns any other human on the planet, then such ownership, authority, or right to rule can NOT be delegated to any other entity on the planet, be it any human or any fictitious entity.
Voting can only delegate authority over the voter making such a vote. Voting to elect some human to the position of Santa's rule maker and writer does NOT imbue that human with a right to rule me. The vote of any voter can NOT delegate a right to rule me to any entity. Period. Full stop.
I expect y'all to recognize the Santa BS for what it is. I expect many of the rest of you to fail to recognize the State-Government BS as the exact same BS as the Santa BS.
