You probable believe that your income comes from the sky or something When you make money ,whehter you are employer or worker, you are using some infrastructure ( and I am not talking about roads ) that is not yours or somebody else ... is ours . Only the fact that you have enough relative healty and educated people to hire means somebody wasted time with them or the fact that you cant have your business safe means somebody does something for you . You can have your pizza shop in England because somebody keeps England safe , and people eat pizza in England because they know you will not use poison to cook it because there are some nasty bureaucrats from FDA and some cops that will punish you if you poison people , without this basic things there would be no market . There is no economy outside the community , there is no income in a absolute sense , what you have is relative to others.
