Depends on your view point.
You could argue that the process was never really "yours" in the first place.
Society, our laws, our armies and natural resources, our roads, bridges, power lines, telecoms structure, are 99% of that process and you added 1%.
You simply took advantage of a lot of luck, a little bit of hard work and probably a bunch of your parents' money to end up owning it.
Maybe you should get a chunk of the rewards, but all of it?
- dsacco 9y agoHow would you propose we make a more meritocratic system that doesn't allow for as much luck-based success?
- AstralStorm 9y agoI suppose you want some incorruptible and relatively unbiased jury to manage it as well?
- TheAdamAndChe 9y agoTax the wealthy and use that money to invest in infrastructure, education, and economic growth across the entire country, not just the big cities. Combine that with limiting trade with countries that have abysmal minimum wages and standard of living, and you'd have a fantastic recipe for economic growth for the lower and middle classes. Luck is always involved, but by increasing opportunities while giving workers more leverage, it is definitely doable.
