Default Re: Rothbard on Egalitarianism

Hey weatherman-

Let's say a capitalist takes all the money he could otherwise blow on yachts, hookers and columbian pure, and instead invests it in something other people can use.

Now, there's two ways to go about it. He could just give these people the resources, but consumed resources don't last very long. Alternatively, he could invest the money in something creates renewed wealth for the people, so that they can keep generating more and more wealth for themselves. Heck, the generated wealth could allow him to do this again so that even more people can generate wealth for themselves!

This is called a business, and it's what those horrible, evil rich people do.

I was primarily referring to rent and the psychic benefits I recieve from not living with my parents. Also, don't worry, drug consumption represents a minute percentage of my income.

Fair dues, I hear you on the not wanting to live with parents thing.

The point is that you don't believe having/making money is wrong [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
