Means is a form of entitlement. Free market economics creates massive inequality. That's the whole issue at stake here.

But the other side of the argument is that if somebody worked hard, and obtained monies, they should be able choose where to live using said monies. If i found out that wealth gained means nothing, and that the 'mob' penalizes wealth, then people would tend to create less wealth. Would society be worse off then?
