So Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, true story. Ask any family that survived communism.

quoting note18m7…ustf

My grandfather was a pharmacist in Cuba and he also started a little toy store.

The Cuban government took his toy store, pharmacy and middle of the road house that my entire family lived in and gave us an apartment. The house was given to a military official.

Self custodying words could have protected two generations worth of saved value. My family will never forget this and never trust a government to protect the value we store.
