I consider people like Calvin Ayre (or <insert billionaire here>
to be the biggest thieves of all time. What right do they have to such a big chunk of the worlds resources for themselves?
[/ QUOTE ]
This is terrible. Since when is having earned a lot of money evidence of theft?

So if it were possible for one single person to amass the rights to every single resource on the planet and just sit back and watch everybody else suffer and die, then this would be fine just because they "earned" it?
The law shouldn't protect the billionaire from losing his money to thieves; the law should protect the normal person from the billionaire taking far more than their fair share...

The problem is that your argument applies to any two people who have different amounts of money. According to you, the one with less is justified in stealing from the one with more.
If this is not the case, exactly how much money do I have to have before I deserve to be robbed?

Exactly how much money do you need to live a reasonable quality of life? Do you think Calvin Ayre put in several million times more effort to make his money than some random guy making carpets 16 hours a day in an Indian sweatshop?
If you want a society that encourages extreme greed as the ultimate goal for all humans to aspire towards then that's your view and nobody can change that, but I think you'll find that's there's a few billion people on this planet that struggle just to feed themselves each and every day and I don't see why some [censored] like Calvin Ayre or Bill Gates should be allowed to just suck up the rights half the world's resources for their own private use.
