I agree with your ideals, but when our financial systems are favored towards the second person's preferences that ideology doesn't mean anything in practice because it is not systemic. Trying to handpick cases like this to decide who is more worthy or not isn't fair when that same scrutiny isn't passed upon nearly anybody else. Im not sure we would even have think about this case if we taxed capital gains higher than income. If people want to sit and do nothing with something with our current version of capitalism, they should be allowed to, provided they are willing to pay for it with a bit higher tax rate. I don't think doing otherwise will lead to anything besides present more avenues for corruption within our current economic model. Now if all factory property was put under scrutiny of public ideal and no longer privately owned, maybe something could be figured out, but without knowing what economic model to assume in that place there are a near endless number of potential solutions.
