Why? It is non-obvious to me that we should have a collective say in why the rich become rich.
- cee_el123 4y agoland and natural resources are limited in supply they're also a big part of how humans fulfil the basic necessities of life why should this "ownership" gained centuries ago through violence or social rank, be the reason for the average person of today having pay 50% of their wages in tribute to the descendant of that original conqueror/noble ?
