Apology, unmerited was what I meant as far as an inheritance.
We agree on the corrupting influence of government but I disagree that no government would lead to no unethical entrepreneurial behavior.
What would be the difference between mafia actors extorting protection from small business as compared to theft via tax? That's one example and I could list 100's....1000's....
On inheritance: if someone leaves me a fortune can we at least agree that I did nothing to merit such wealth and that in receiving it I've gained an unfair advantage over those who don't receive an inheritance........
The casino model of economy has taken over the earth; hell, that is what Wall St. is! Wealth generated through speculation and it's now at the point where a few hundred individuals own over 80% of all stock wealth.
Wealth generated by the most dubious means imaginable. But okay, the best we can do as humans are to have vast systems of financial speculation premised on amorality.....
Gawd, no wonder folks are depressed and playing 'bang bang shoot shoot' every five minutes.

lol geesh. I don't agree on inheritance, it's none of anyone's business what you inherit. Even if you do nothing for it, it is their right to gift it to you if you are willing to accept it. If you want to give it up fine, but no one has the right to take it from you just because they think you may not have earned it. No unfair advantage in receiving a gift. Do you apply this to charities too? If a charity receives a large gift, does that put it at an advantage over other charities, and therefore should be taken from them by force? And if charity is Okay, who is to say that you may not chose to spend part or all of your inheritance on charity, is that portion of your inheritance now not subject to being seized?
I'm not really seeing any point in continuing this as you are in complete denial that about 6000 business people now own over 80% of the wealth of the planet and that disparity of opportunity is being severely compromised by this hoarding by ALL the many unfair ways they've rigged the global casino.
The difference between me and you is you only scapegoat one actor in this tragedy:guvment......I suggest that there are many many bad actors involved in this whole bloody mess.
That's okay, i enjoyed it. As long as you got my memo about the calculation problem. Thanks for chatting, cheers.
