We each have our role in society and in nature. The rich and the poor are part of the whole. This idea that everyone must be “materially” equal I have noted even violates the Ten Commandments. In nature, one species preys upon another. It may be horrible to watch, but you cannot pass a law to make it all fair and nice in nature. So why do we think we can do that among ourselves?

Free Markets prevail in every layer of nature and that includes our society and will cause the rise and fall of nations in ways we cannot imagine.

We outlawed booze creating prohibition and that funded the Mafia. No matter what we do, there is a ripple effect with unintended consequences.
