: Strange, to admit the amazing qualities of liberty and property, then seek to inhibit it.

Like I said, we want to increase that l;iberty, and increase ownership of property.

: This focusses capital where it produces the most wealth. If it 'made money' out of nothing inflation would be several hundred %. The money made reflects the underlying value (ie the value placed upon it by consumers) of the company (although it can be haphazard, its a good guide over time).

It doesn't 'make money, buying stocks and shares just redistributes money allready inc riculation, and, when markets over-value stock, where the zero-sum of the ame kicks in, there is a market 'correction' and money disappears. When other channels of investment are blocked, this happens more and more often.

: Unless enough people dont want you to use what they have made with those resources.

Whereas now where one person won't let me sue them, and I can even discuss the matter with them...

: No useful data proves this, or even shows it in any way we can be confident of. The data that does exist suggests the opposite, an upward trend punctuated by setbacks.
