Re: "acquired it by honest work and frugality" >>> How likely is THAT? (The 'rich' are humans after all... just ;like the rest of us... subject to the same weaknesses and frailties.) "and owe no one anything" >>> It seems we ALL 'owe' taxes to the government. Some go further than just that obligation... and believe in the moral imperative of leaving their country a better place than they found it. "If the richest 1% owns even 100 percent of the wealth" >>> I believe that would meet the definition of a sick society though.... It is unlikely Democracy would exist anymore under those conditions of Plutocracy.
