Why would they care? As long as they are left with sufficient amounts to provide for their own (miniscule) consumption, they have no reason to stress. And why is confiscating land and resources a necessary step?
- ubernostrum 11y agoAgain, you assume perfectly-rational, perfectly-informed spherical frictionless humans. This is why you don't understand the criticism you receive, and why others do not understand you.
- yummyfajitas 11y agoYou repeatedly appeal to one specific irrationality, and don't explain why that irrational behavior (as opposed to many others) will occur. Nor do you explain why redistribution is necessary. Assuming the masses can control law enforcement well enough to impose redistribution, why can't the masses also simply prevent the rich from harming them and form their own economy? Let me guess - more finely tuned irrationality? It seems like your alleged irrationalities conspire in odd ways to make your very specific policy prescription the only possible solution. [edit: my mistake on this paragraph, I did indeed confuse you with another poster.]
- ubernostrum 11y agoI haven't advocated any policy. Perhaps you're confused?
- zanny 11y agoExcept that isn't how you get rich or powerful, or stay rich and powerful. You do not give away your power, and land is power. Look no further than the middle ages and the age of serfdom to see the extreme of the power you can have owning land.
