A fine analogy,

It is invalid. You know it. Everyone knows it.

Nature enthusiast Tom Del Rosso recoils from physics analogies
too.

"Your physics analogy assumes the government is more natural than
people are... The government is not natural."


He then, unwittingly, hands me a chainsaw to cut the limb you two
sit on.


You know your ****witted analogy is invalid. It's bull****.


Dell Rosso's analogy.

"And when people get the hourly wage they agreed to, with the right to
go elsewhere, that's natural too."

'So the rich should also agree to a graduated income tax structure,
because they're free to go elsewhere.'


Bad analogy, because a graduated tax *isn't* a wage, and the rich didn't
agree to it.

You're ****ed.
