Are you saying that individuals wielding massive amounts of power in shaping social policy isn't such a terrible thing as long as those people have the "right" political view?
- zajio1am 6y agoIndividuals wielding massive amounts of power still add diversity in their philantropy approaches, compared to government position.

- jl2718 6y agoOkay, so entrepreneurs should not be allowed to become wealthy. How do you plan to enforce that? What about politicians, should they be wealthy? How about their friends and donors and special interests that get giant contracts and banking monopolies? Should the people that control the money supply be ‘allowed’ to get rich off of it? Is there a single example in all of history where attempts at enforcing wealth or income equality didn’t just end up putting wealth into the pockets of those in power? I’m sure this time is different.
