Society has every right so long as the rights are abridged in the codexes and rules of the society one lives. Individuals draw their rights and privileges from whatever constitutions that the majority has agreed to follow. By the way, no man or woman for that matter, single handedly made a fortune without help from others. They were able to do so in the confines provided by the social, economic, and political structures in which they live. I don't know why this seems so difficult to understand.
Not just a safe. In an argon vault. The paper will disi in the next few decades. It's a low low quality.
Not always! Some made their fortune by working outside those confines, ignoring them completely as they worked their "magic".
Contrary, and as you all but suggest (all though not perhaps purposely) criminal. There is doing what is right and then there is doing the right thing. This forum isn't the best place for this type of discussion, but the title of the thread begs the discussion. My point is only that when anyone suggests that individuals have a "right" to great wealth, the suggestion that it is a right presumes that an individual can determine and enforce perceived rights outside of the societal covenants under which they live. Ted Kazinsky did until he didn't. Now he enjoys a stay at a Supermax facility. I am Not suggesting an option one way or another other than at some point conspicuous consumption runs the risk of conspicuous tax increases.
