 What about curable ones?

 What else are they gonna do with it?

 If money does not come from working, then
where did the first big pile come from?


 If I make a painting (that others find
valuable) I have created additional wealth.
The supplies were here, but the high value
was not.

 If you build a house, you have created
wealth. The supplies were here, but you've
added much value by your labor.

 If you "sell" your house to me, and I "pay"
with my painting, we have both exchanged
wealth without requiring any be taken from
anybody else.

 If you keep building houses and selling
them to others, and if I keep creating
paintings and selling them, we will both get
rich. We don't have to take anything away
from anyone else, except what we mutually
agree is the actual value of the items. They
will be paying with value which they have
created by their own labor.

 No one had to be underpaid to make us
wealthy.

 TTYL.
