    Wealth Cap

    Well then it seems to me that our disagreement on this matter principally stems from a difference in priorities that can not be resolved outside of severe circumstances falling upon one or both of us.

    Wealth Cap

    So you do not consent to surrendering any freedoms and to the authority of an (at least in theory) representative system in exchange for the preservation of your remaining rights and liberties?

    Wealth Cap

    It makes much more sense than the current system of inheritance taxes. As for the posts from before this, while I do support the idea of a wealth cap to insure that no single entity or individual ever has too much power over the economy and by extension everything else I do not believe...
