And YOU don't understand property rights!!

If the government truly OWNED the money supply, it would have the ability to DO WHAT IT PLEASED with ALL money in the UK!

But the state DOES NOT have the right to tell me how I spend my money, even if it DOES tax me!!!

By the theory of property rights I have the RIGHT to do WHAT THE SHIT I want with MY money, provided I DON'T violate OTHERS rights!!!

I'll say it again the british pound is the property of the british government, fact.

You get to use it, get paid in it for doing whatever you do.

Try telling your bank that you melt down pennies.

The government can and do seize property, you have ignored that point, why?

I noticed that the Royal Mint isn't on the list of things which the government should operate, so I guess that the OP won't have any money to be taxed once he's finished abolishing the government.
