Is there something wrong with someone making a choice that pays off repeatedly (even up to near permanently) instead of only temporarily? Assuming no, then there is nothing wrong with passive investment. Now power via money in politics is another issue completely, but money isn't the issue, corruption is. I would wholeheartedly agree we need to fix corruption in the government. I just disagree that the fix to corruption is to make everyone marginally poorer via taxation. (at least some margin is lost to bureaucracy)
