"In his will, Ben Rea bequeathed $15 million to his cat, Blackie."
Capitalism is an economic system that seeks greater liberty of capital and less government involvement than others. I tend to see it as more of a range on a spectrum than a different breed of cat.
What you are referring to is avarice. An insatiable desire for money. That would be bad. Seeking to earn wealth to support one's family is not. More people fit the second example than the first.
Ben Rea. It is his money. He can do whatever he wants with it. The more authority the state has over his money the less liberty Ben has. One of the aspects of liberty is the freedom to be a dumbass.
Yes, his money could help many people, charities etc. But it is his money.
Most people do not have $15MM. Most who do have $15MM do not give it to their cat.
There are many Americans who give a great deal to charity be it research, aid to the poor, etc.
http://www.slate.com/id/2243496/ list of American Philanthropists... I listed top 5 2009
Stanley F. and Fiona B. Druckenmiller—$705 million
John M. Templeton—$573 million
William H. (Bill) III and Melinda F. Gates—$350 million
Michael R. Bloomberg: $254 million
Louise Dieterle Nippert—$185 million
Nicholas Popov :fight:
It is illness of accustoming. In concentration camps fascists have put prisoners into condition when those fur-trees a grass near barracks with a blissful expression on her face . And this happiness wasn't counterfeit. Hardly you will consider it normal now.
The charity of Pharisees: they take away one million to show much favour in one hundred dollars. The Russian GAZPROM which robs the future generations on trillions dollars, holds sporting competitions for children. Children will return to poverty then, yet laundered palaces will become dwellings of adored 'tin gods'.
Swindlers will be in clover, until exists simpletons.
Freedom of marasmic grandmother is earned by UNFREE work other people, possibly, unrealized talents which are lost for a society / Raskolnikov by F. Dostoyevsky /. Each problem has several sides, and wisdom begins with the multi-polarity of views.
I doubt whether Raskolnikov was more stupid and is less useful to a society than the grandmother. But unipolarity their views led to a fatal end. Both are hostages of the socio-political system.
The society should choose that is more important to him: mercenary interests of the gone mad old woman or a augmentation of public potential.
I not the Russian cop who without ceremony rummages in another's pocket.
It is a question of extremes. Any limitlessness generates a reverse reaction. Meanwhile, in the nature all processes are self-regulated. The society will become truly effective, harmonious and safe when contradictions are will resolve within wise power itself.
It is possible only for collective intelligence of independent participants. Regular disbalance of making is a pathology of the outdated system of monocracy. IT IS HER NATURAL OPERATING MODE.
