*having seen their tax dollars used by the government to build public infrastructure,*

Bee 1: I am satisfied with this use of my hard earned money. I will continue to pay my due amount of taxes. I understand that even in a capitalist society it is necessary to yield a percentage of my profit to ensure the further advancement of our local neighbourhood. However, I do not support the overtaxing of high-income individuals, which I one day aspire to be. This is achievable through my consistent work and dedication to my craft.

*having successfully made a small profit from selling their honey on the local free-market economy*

Bee 1: We have now generated an amount of net profit that means the government is able to collect tax from us. As citizens of a free, democratic society, we will pay the required tax, however, we will do everything in our legal power to minimise tax, as is our right to do so.

*Bees 1 and 2, having been expelled from the hive for expressing anti-communist sentiments*

Bee 1: We are free of the communist rule of the hive, but we now have no home. I think we should begin to farm our own honey, then sell it for a profit on the free market. We can then take these small profits and invest back into our farming to increase production and thus profit.

Bee 1: We live under the dictatorial thumb of our oppressive queen bee. The communist systems in place are unsustainable, and to thrive we must rid ourselves of the powers which keep our right to a free market suppressed.
