"Explosives" in this case are "ordinary fireworks you can buy at a stand on the side of the road meant to be loud and annoying."
Sure. If a wealth tax was set at 99% it'd be dumb. But this is not itself an argument against all taxes.
We already have income tax. Why start a business in this sort of environment? Work hard, so that the government can redistribute your success? Amazingly, people still start businesses.

This is true for all art. I don't feel much emotion from an early renaissance marian icon but I do feel a lot of emotion when experiencing an Agnes Martin painting. The point is that abstract art is not emotionless.
