It takes government coercion and legally sanctioned theft to achieve the wealth concentration we see today.


I am sure that there are examples of that, but I don't see it in the super rich, mostly I see people who started businesses which became market leaders. Bill Gates - MSFT spent a decade fighting the govt anti-trust suites. The Waltons are children of the founder of a company which fights more battles with state and local govt than just about anyone. Larry Elison, Brin and Page, more company founders. Where is the coercion and theft?
