Maybe not, but if he reached a point where his bank balance were artificially constrained in it's growth, he'd consider his options. You have to really love making widgets and bossing people around to do it for free. That is the whole point I am trying to make. Think outside of the box. Why cater public policy toward some of the worst aspect of human nature - excessive greed. Why not direct public policy toward enlightened interests. That may be a little too advanced for most societies, but I think we, at our current juncture, are close to having our basic needs met and we have to find out what makes people tick beyond basic primitive emotions and cater public policy toward those ends. Why continue in this primitive mode of catering to the worst elements of our human emotional range?
