How did he get rich? By way of exploitation, there's no other way. Is it okay to steal from a profiteer? Of course it is, there's nothing wrong with confiscating stolen property.
- ctdonath 13y agoNo other way? Is YC only about creative exploitation, the bounty of which may be stolen from? Are you implying YC is a crime syndicate? Some people CAN (and do) produce substantially more value than others. If someone's effort somehow creates enough value which can be readily converted to basic sustenance for a thousand other people, should the thousand others just confiscate that value? or should they recognize that he's rich of his own volition, his bounty is his, and if they want it they should produce enough value on their own to exchange fairly for it? I reject the notion that wealth = theft. I work with wealthy people who clearly earned it, working hard & clever to produce more value than most people do.

- anoncowherd 13y ago>> How did he get rich? By way of exploitation, there's no other way. Can you really not see how ridiculous that idea is? You're saying that it's simply impossible for anyone to get rich by producing value to other people? -Steve Jobs, hello?
