You certainly have a mellifluous way with words, Melo.  Very, very impressive if English is not your first language.  But if we fetishise money, and idolise the rich which have it, why the political aversion to using the state as a mechanism for re-distribution, or even allowing the taxpayer a fair return on the risks the state takes with his money - as in bailing out the bankers. Why the myth that all profits are private, when enterprise is only possible within the security and legal space provided by the state at taxpayers expense?
