Hello Robert - 

 In a message on 5 March, you wrote to me : 

CA>>> I've always said no American should be allowed more than
CA>>> 10 million. After that what you 'earn' should be given
CA>>> away. How to give this away I do not know but why horde? 

RS>> I can't agree to a limit. Especially, an arbitrary one. 

CA>> OK, we could make it a multiple of a true cost of living
CA>> index (not the gov fake one) then starting at $10mil for
CA>> this year and moving up or down as the COL changed? 

RS> Still, no. 

The only people I know who disagree are those with the illusion
they will someday have more than that. ;-) 

RS>> What do you mean, horde? Unless they bury it out in the
RS>> back yard, how is it horded? 

CA>> One family does not need more than $10mil even if they are
CA>> all dying of an incurable disease. 

RS> What about curable ones? 

RS> Seriously, why does "need" matter? 

I guess for you, it doesn't matter. 

RS>> People with money don't just pile it up in a bedroom. They
RS>> spend some, loan some, invest some, donate some. 

CA>> That's the popular propaganda, yes. 

RS> What else are they gonna do with it? 

Buy influence to get more money. 

RS>> And, if they DID bury it in the back yard, so what? If
RS>> it's their money, why can't they? 

CA>> The point is the money has to come from somewhere
CA>> (someone). Many people are underpaid to make each person
CA>> wealthy. There is no way everyone can get rich
CA>> simultaneously. 

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

The Astors got their's selling guns and whiskey to the Indians. 

RS> If I make a painting 

RS> If you build a house, 

RS> If you "sell" your house to me, 

RS> If you keep building houses and selling them to others, 

RS> No one had to be underpaid to make us wealthy. 

Most wealthy people got the money without building anything.
They 'broker' what other people build.
