You can be rich in the absence of law and organized society, too. You just have to be rich enough to hire/inspire the goons to keep the peasants cowed.

- dragonwriter 11y agoWhat you said is "you can be rich without law and organized society, if you can manage to establish yourself as the government". Which is true in a sense -- though then you've organized society around your interest, and established yourself as the arbiter of law -- but not really an argument against the rich bearing disproportionately the cost for government.
