I'm not at all against private richness etc, the thing is that both European aristocrats and royals as well as many American oil and railway "barons" didn't get rich in a fair way. They literally stole from the weaker because they could.
Nothing is "all or nothing", thats why I said "privatize society" (all of society)
A friend of mine is much more hardcore than I am, and I tried to explain my position to him:
There's good, honest entrepreneurism, where someone actually HAS LUCK as well as hard work.
Hard work as the only tool, is a big fat myth. Floor moppers work hard their entire lives - BUT
I am not gonna stand in the way of someones good combination of work and fortune.
Someone _can_ sell enough kebabs from his private stand, to afford a Ferrari - I've seen it happen.
But one Ferrari is something real capitalists will only laugh at.
Real "fat-cat"-ism is _not possible_ without stepping on other people, holding someone else down, banishing whole groups of people from ever making something of themselves.
There is a line crossed.
(in other words, we agree, I just wanted to point that out
)
Also, my dad works like a donkey, gets taxed, and is jolly fine with it.
The ferrari-guy gets taxed, and is fine with it, so those with billions of fucking dollars, cry and moan like babies, they deserve a good, cold beating.
