Okay, I have $100 in my pocket. someone steals that $100 from me. I now have $0. Then they turn around and buy a widget from me for $50. I paid $30 for the widget. I now have $50 in my pocket - $30 I paid for the widget. So I'm down to $20...which is not $0.

Edit: I understand that I should have $150 in my pocket (original $100 + $50 for the widget). But if the thief never bought the widget from me, I'd have $0, but instead I have $20.

Someone else would have paid for that widget.

okay now the guy that took the $100 from you runs away and someone else buys the widget from you for $50...shouldn't you have $150 now?
