No, I believe working people deserve fair compensation, and simply having wealth doesn't entitle you to the spoils of others' labor. I believe money should be a public utility and not a treasure hoard. And I believe that economic surpluses should serve the needy and the public good, not allow the development of perversions like billionaires.

I believe the world doesn't owe rich fux a living just for being rich.


Good luck with that.

As Tom Sherman often noted, people who advocate communal
systems stop short when asked to share one toothbrush with
the neighborhood.

I think that there is something seriously wrong with people who believe that economics is a zero sum game. If a man is rich, that doesn't mean that you are poor. Yet that is the Marxist strategy for pushing socialism. Of course Marx himself lived a happy and free life in London living off of the fortune his father left him.
