I congratulate you on the way you have twisted my words.
Where have I denied poeple property rights? I believe in property rights but not in absolute property rights.There is a difference.
Where have I denied people who excel the right to prosper? Reread my original statement, I have limited wages to a factor of 20 over the minimum wage.
Let's spell this out.The min wage is, approximately, $700pw. So the max wage would be $14 000pw. Is anyone on $14Kpw not allowed to prosper? Anyone on $14Kpw who leaves that job for more money would do so out of greed and not need. Name me any greedy person who has been a benefit to society.
