    Well, then I guess all joint forms of property are "the antithesis of
    individual ownership". You have heard of "joint ownership"?

    I and my ancestors built this country. That was our work. Our wages are
    higher than in many other countries. Mexico, for example. Now you see our
    gain. In fact, you Rafal personally decided to enjoy a bit of OUR work and
    enjoy the gains of the country WE built, even though you are the grasshopper
    to our ant, correct?

    In fact, that is somthing similar to what I have been saying--we are being
    ROBBED.
