<<<<Those who don't understand this have never created wealth and have no claim to it.>>> Interesting comment. So where I lived I watched a timber company log on NF lands - at ridiculously below cost timber sales. The timber company set up a subsidiary company to then build the roads to access their below cost timber purchases. They also built bridges to access their timber. Needless to say, they got filthy disgusting rich off the government. So they made money on the timber and more to access the timber. Are they entitled to that wealth and income? They certainly claimed it and go filthy rich. Now, compare that to a man who builds houses and puts in his 50 or 60 hours a week year after year. Does that qualify as creating wealth?
