Then I guess we agree, because I never said "all landowners, factory owners, tea shop owners, craftsmen, authors, etc., are evil and must be destroyed because they are better off than we are. " However, if those people support their collective standard of living by having me mine coal for "fair wages" (which don't credit me for the life units I give up due to black lung disease and emphysema), and I get to pay for my own gloves and shovels from their store (for a "fair" mark-up, of course) then I guess I might just blow them up.

Fair wages seems to mean "what's fair for me. Period." That's relativism, Bud. And it is not consistent with your religious philosophy, BTW. I would feel really strangely if my metaphysical orientation was that far out of synch with my economic philosophy, but hey, that's just me!
