Yes I'm serious. (*EDIT: obviously I'm not serious that we should jail people for engaging in capitalism, or take away everyone's money, that is sarcasm.) If we were to take away people's money and put them in prison to teach them a lesson about "engaging in capitalism", they can serve their term; then they can go on Hacker News, open a blog, announce a new project, raise funds for it, and become rich. This is almost literally the process by which huge, vast swathes of inequity are created. Mark Cuban's parents immigrated from Russia with the name Chabenisky. Sergei Brin is literally a Soviet-born engineer. How do you stop him from accumulating his current net worth of $39.2 billion -- which literally means he has $5.00 for every man, woman, and child on Earth, of any age, anywhere. That is inequality in action. It's dynastic inequality. How do you stop it? Shut down the Internet?
