Do you think the <b>leaders</b> of the world, are the ones in leading positions?Quote from Yannis:
If you say you can do that well, don't you then belong in the top half? Or, don't you agree that most of the people who are skilled leaders sooner or later make it in this society?
Of course, this is an unrealistic situation that makes little sense and allows for a lot of misunderstanding and thinking bias, hard to really argue one way or another.
It reminds me of one of the best axioms I saw hanging on a wall when I was just entering graduate school to study Theoretical Physics: "Imaginary forces are heavily model-dependent."

How much does the companies he owns pay in taxes?Quote from bigdavediode:
Hard to say, but here are some of the services he uses and must pay for:
Roads, which give the companies he owns a method of conveyance
Homeland Security, which gives him a stable country to trade and do business
SEC, which helps regulate the businesses he owns, and helps regulate the ones he does business with, thereby giving him a more stable business climate
The Justice Department, which helps remove dishonest business transactions from the system that he uses
The Court System, which allows him a place to pursue contractual matters
And on, and on, and on...
He uses more services than most people because he has more transactions and more equity.
How much does the warmongering politicians add to the cost of his security/stability?
I thought a free market was/is preferable?
Some of us started at the bottom, so we actually know how...!Quote from Mav88:

But without the producers there would not be a decent country to live in.
Thought experiment: divide the people into the top half and bottom half of earners, now take everyone's money away and put the halves on different planets. Would you rather live the top half or bottom half?

I don't know, tell us.

Do tell.

He's in a free market, as he can easily relocate. He chooses to pay the taxes in exchange for the services.
