'Self-reliance' is a favorite phrase of the advantaged, ignoring the extra resources which assisted in the gain of the advantage.
Sometimes, it is more than extra resources that influences the outcome.
However, such things remain in shadows.
My question is: why do we allow such advantages to continue to widen between the few and the many?
Shouldn't there be incentives making advantage temporary, returning the advantaged few to the ranks of the many?
Haven't heard the advantaged rage about 'entitlement', recently, probably because only the advantaged receive 'entitlement'.
What justifies the average differences in wealth held being greater than ten?
It is readily apparent that the advantaged have little incentive to trim the average differences in wealth held since that would shrink the advantage they have, currently.
How much idle wealth is there, currently?
Tends to increase as the differences between the few and the many increases.
The real source of wealth isn't the advantaged, it is the many.
Biblically, did the manna fall to the few or to everyone?
In America, is the separation between church and state wider than necessary?
Should wealth generation only occur in the secular world but not from the churches?
Is the church tax deduction such a good thing for everybody?
Suppose idle wealth funded wealth generation by the churches and churches paid taxes.
Wouldn't an alternative method of wealth generation be a healthy competition for the secular world.
Then profit for profit's sake might wither.
Imagine those rejected by the secular world having influence on how the secular world worked.
Seems to me that the true generators of new wealth should have a say on how that wealth is used.
What do you think?
