So, when he gets rich, he buys a limousine, a helicopter, healthcare for himself, a mansion...and then a factory (but maybe overseas), a warehouse, a store, a bank, and a restaurant...a farm (plantation or company town), a school, an apartment building, a mine, airplanes, busses, trucks, a satellite, or ships...pays sales and property taxes, gives to what seems something like a charity, faces regulations, bribes and lobbies more politicians, endows his kids...seeks to avoid the taking of his wealth and tries to pass on costs...builds a private security force to protect his body/life....
And when a poor man gets some (net) wealth, what does he do...? (Why can't we all get rich by age fifty-five, if we work hard and play by the rules?)
But what of the born-rich kids (in the North and South) and their servants and corporate entities...? (Do they have any humility at all? Do they ever eat cornflakes?)
Fictitious persons: corporate wealth and power, and human agents.
Government holdings: who really owns (by controlling) the country, and what does the country own (and owe)?
Rights to property and power, and responsibilities to the community (dharma and karma).
