I don't know why you keep using the word "right". It's a beneficial situation for the individual and the US.
Because institutions and environments matter. Einstein wouldnt have been able to contribute nearly as much to humanity 5000 years ago as he could 80 years ago.
- linksnapzz 5y agoI keep using the word "right", because you said: Why would you want to deny those individuals their right to wealth and a more comfortable life? So now, it is not a right, but merely a beneficial arrangement so obvious as to be axiomatic? Yes, institutions and environments matter...so much so, that one should be very, very careful about how they might be changed or altered, and how the benefits are calculated, and by whom...
