The magical Glass Chicken

When I was a kid we had a glass chicken on a glass nest bowl. For some reason, I thought it was magic.

I thought the chicken could "lay" coins at night. I don't remember what the deal was with that, but long after the coins stopped appearing, I still revered that chicken and felt a sort of magic surrounding it.

Just like statists feel about the state.

They think government just "lays" money. They don't realize that any money you find there had to be put there by someone else. Just like my parents put the coins under the chicken.

Government doesn't produce any money (or anything else) on its own. Everything that seems to come from it was put there by someone else; by a thief who stole someone's property to make it magically appear to come from the state.

I grew out of my belief in the magical glass chicken. Most people have yet to grow out of their belief in the state. They are living in a fantasy.
