Good old libertarians - everything is about money and force.

The money isn't being taken by force. Money is a social construct, and the people in charge of taking care of that social construct are fiddling with the numbers. There are no jackbooted thugs going into people's homes and relieving them of physical property, which is what you're alluding to.

Whethere it's morally right or not (or somewhere in-between) is a wholly different question, which isn't helped by hyperbole like you're presenting here.

Well... There are 5,000-euros suited thugs sitting in their offices relieving people of fiscal property.

Which is exactly the same as jackbooted thugs going into people's homes and relieving them of physical property.

And it's morally wrong. Like putting tags on people to make fun of them.

Tags like 'libertarian'? Or tags like 'thugs'?
You got me there.

I mean hard working bankers that deserve their 50,000% annual bonuses for destroying people's lives.
