 That's completely retarded. You might as well be saying that people can't work together & can't give things to each other. You want to magically vaporize what a parent earns so that it can't be left to their children?!

If people WANT to work for someone else, what then? If you actually understood what it's like to run a business you would also understand why most people would want to work for others.

Being compensated at an agreed to rate for your time & effort is just trade, it is literally selling your work directly to another person. It's not even sorta slavery.

But when the govt picks and chooses economic winners then the options for employment become limited & that IS a problem.
